Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Many... therefore for therefore many, A.V.; the Greek women of honorable estate for honorable women which were Greeks, A.V. Honorable; εὐσχημόνων, as Acts 13:50, where it is coupled with τοὺς πρώτους τῆς πόλεως (see ver. 4; comp. Mark 15:43). Meyer thinks that it is meant that the men were Greeks too; but this is uncertain. The only Beraean convert whose name we know is Sopater (Acts 20:4), or Sosipater, who is probably the same (Romans 16:21). If so, he was apparently a Jew, whose Hebrew name may have been Abishua.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Therefore many of them believed.--The narrator dwells with satisfaction on the fact that at Ber?a there were many Jewish as well as Gentile converts. Among the latter there were, as at Thessalonica, women of the upper class.
