At Berea, Paul and Sias followed the same methods as at Thesâ€" lsalonica, utilizing once again the Jewâ€" ish synagogue as the centre of operaâ€" tion, and the Scriptures as their textâ€" book. _ _V, 11. The reeu‘ts were botter than at Thocsalonica. The Jews of Berea showed a frank okfn-m'mded wilingâ€" nes to consider the truth announced by Pau‘. They came together daily for Scripture study and exposition, giving their attention specially to the Scriptureâ€"proofs of Jesus which Paul laid before them. V. 12.

The Christian comâ€" munity, however, considered the situâ€" |ation so serious that they resolved to _ Vs. 6â€"7. Foiled in this, they seize Jason and some others who had transâ€" ferred their faith from Judaism to Jesus Christ, and drag them before the magistrates, protesting that Jason had. received into his house certain persons, Christian missionaries, who were known to be rervoiutiona.r{es or disturbers of the world‘s peace, and that the who‘e order of Christian beâ€" lievers was dangerous and hostile to the decrees of Czsar, because they proclaimed gnother king, Jesus by‘ name. | V, 5. Jealous and incensed, the Jews instigate a rict among the reckless elements in the city populacs, and colâ€" lecting a huge mob, besiege the house of Jason, where Paul and Stas were staying, demanding that the missionâ€" aries be surrendered. Cross was regarded as the final disâ€" proof of his claims; his resurrection was believed to be a fiction of his disâ€" | ciples. Consequentli, St. Paul‘s logiâ€" 'cal method was twofold: (1) To show |from the Old Testament, from such | assages as <Isaiah 53, Psalm 16, ?’salm 110, that the vicarious sufferâ€" ing and rising again of the Messiah wore foretold by the prophets and &salmim; (2) To show that Jesus of ‘ azareth was the Messiah. In this sense Paul "opens and alleges" that "it behoved the Christ to suffer and to rise again from the dead." The resu‘t of the preaching was only parâ€" tial among the Jews, but among the "devout Greeks," that is, among the interested religious inquirers above referred to, the effect was notable. Practically the who‘e of these Greeks transferred themsoives from Judaism‘ to the Christian mission. | tom most familiar to Jewish hearers, to expound the truth from Sa-i[)ture.

Amphipo.is and Apo!â€" lonia were pasced on the way, but whether Paul started missicns there is not recorded and cannot be daterâ€" ‘mined.
