Acts 17:12

12. If the claims of Jesus are false, an honest and thorough investigation of them is the best way to prove them so. If they are true, such an investigation will be certain to convince us and to bless us. With the Bereans, the logical result of a daily investigation is stated thus: (12) "Therefore, many of them, and not a few of the honorable men and women who were Greeks, believed." It was not here, as in Thessalonica, that "some of them" and "a great multitude of Greeks" believed; but it was "many of them," and "not a few of the Greeks." That they believed, is distinctly attributed to the fact that they "searched the Scriptures;" showing again, that faith is produced by the word of God.
