The Definition of the word Berea

Berea

A city of Macedonia to which Paul with Silas and Timotheus went "when persecuted at Thessalonica (Acts 17:10, 13), and from which" "also he was compelled to withdraw, when he fled to the sea-coast" "and thence sailed to Athens (14, 15). Sopater, one of Paul's" "companions belonged to this city, and his conversion probably" took place at this time (Acts 20:4). It is now called Verria.
