Matthew Henry Commentary Acts 17:10-15

"And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Beroea: who when they were come thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily, whether these things were so. Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few. But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes. And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still. But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed." — Acts 17:10-15 (ASV)

The Jews in Berea diligently studied the word preached to them. They not only heard Paul preach on the Sabbath, but daily searched the Scriptures and compared what they read with the message they heard. The doctrine of Christ does not fear inquiry; advocates for His cause desire only that people will fully and fairly examine whether these things are so or not. Those who make the Scriptures their rule and consult them accordingly are truly noble and likely to become even more so. May all hearers of the gospel become like those of Berea, receiving the word with readiness of mind and searching the Scriptures daily, whether the things preached to them are so.
