Actes 17

1Now^G1161 when they had passed through^G1353 Amphipolis^G295 and^G2532 Apollonia^G624, they came^G2064 to^G1519 Thessalonica^G2332, where^G3699 was^G2258 a synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453: 2and^G1161 Paul^G3972, as^G2596 his custom^G1486 was, went in^G1525 unto^G4314 them^G846, and^G2532 for^G1909 three^G5140 sabbath days^G4521 reasoned^G1256 with them^G846 from^G575 the Scriptures^G1124, 3opening^G1272 and^G2532 alleging^G3908 that^G3754 it behooved^G1163 the Christ^G5547 to suffer^G3958, and^G2532 to rise again^G450 from^G1537 the dead^G3498; and^G2532 that^G3754 this^G3778 Jesus^G2424, whom^G3739, said he, I^G1473 proclaim^G2605 unto you^G5213, is^G2076 the Christ^G5547. 4And^G2532 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 were persuaded^G3982, and^G2532 consorted^G4345 with Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, and^G5037 of the devout^G4576 Greeks^G1672 a great^G4183 multitude^G4128, and^G5037 of the chief^G4413 women^G1135 not^G3756 a few^G3641. 5But^G1161 the Jews^G2453, being moved with jealousy^G2206, took unto them^G4355 certain^G5100 vile^G4190 fellows^G435 of the rabble^G60, and^G2532 gathering a crowd^G3792, set the^G2350 city^G4172 on an uproar^G2350; and^G5037 assaulting^G2186 the house^G3614 of Jason^G2394, they sought^G2212 to bring^G71 them^G846 forth^G71 to^G1519 the people^G1218. 6And^G1161 when they found^G2147 them^G846 not^G3361, they dragged^G4951 Jason^G2394 and^G2532 certain^G5100 brethren^G80 before^G1909 the rulers of the city^G4173, crying^G994, These^G3778 that^G3754 have turned^G387 the world^G3625 upside down^G387 are come^G3918 hither^G1759 also^G2532; 7whom^G3739 Jason^G2394 hath received^G5264: and^G2532 these^G3778 all^G3956 act^G4238 contrary^G561 to the decrees^G1378 of Caesar^G2541, saying^G3004 that there is^G1511 another^G2087 king^G935, one Jesus^G2424. 8And^G1161 they troubled^G5015 the multitude^G3793 and^G2532 the rulers of the city^G4173, when they heard^G191 these things^G5023. 9And^G2532 when they had taken^G2983 security^G2425 from^G3844 Jason^G2394 and^G2532 the rest^G3062, they let^G630 them^G846 go^G630. 10And^G1161 the brethren^G80 immediately^G2112 sent away^G1599 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609 by^G1223 night^G3571 unto^G1519 Beroea^G960: who^G3748 when they were come^G3854 thither went^G3854 into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453. 11Now these^G3778 were^G2258 more noble^G2104 than those^G3588 in^G1722 Thessalonica^G2332, in that^G3748 they received^G1209 the word^G3056 with^G3326 all^G3956 readiness of the mind^G4288, examining^G350 the Scriptures^G1124 daily^G2250, whether^G1487 these things^G5023 were^G2192 so^G3779. 12Many^G4183 of^G1537 them^G846 therefore^G3767 believed^G4100; also^G2532 of^G1537 the Greek^G1674 women^G1135 of honorable^G2158 estate, and^G2532 of men^G435, not^G3756 a few^G3641. 13But^G1161 when^G5613 the Jews^G2453 of^G575 Thessalonica^G2332 had knowledge^G1097 that^G3754 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 was proclaimed^G2605 of^G5259 Paul^G3972 at^G1722 Beroea^G960 also^G2546, they came^G2064 thither likewise^G2532, stirring up^G4531 and troubling the multitudes^G3793. 14And^G1161 then^G5119 immediately^G2112 the brethren^G80 sent forth^G1821 Paul^G3972 to go^G4198 as far as^G5613 to^G1909 the sea^G2281: and^G1161 Silas^G4609 and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 abode^G5278 there^G1563 still^G5278. 15But^G1161 they^G3588 that conducted^G2525 Paul^G3972 brought^G71 him^G846 as far as^G2193 Athens^G116: and^G2532 receiving^G2983 a commandment^G1785 unto^G4314 Silas^G4609 and^G2532 Timothy^G5095 that they should^G2443 come^G2064 to^G4314 him^G846 with^G5613 all speed^G5033, they departed^G1826. 16Now^G1161 while Paul^G3972 waited^G1551 for them^G846 at^G1722 Athens^G116, his^G846 spirit^G4151 was provoked^G3947 within^G1722 him^G846 as^G5607 he beheld^G2334 the city^G4172 full of idols^G2712. 17So^G3303 he^G1256 reasoned in^G1722 the synagogue^G4864 with Jews^G2453 and^G2532 the devout persons^G4576, and^G2532 in^G1722 the marketplace^G58 every^G3956 day^G2250 with^G4314 them that^G3588 met him^G3909. 18And^G1161 certain^G5100 also of the Epicurean^G1946 and^G2532 Stoic^G4770 philosophers^G5386 encountered^G4820 him^G846. And^G2532 some^G5100 said^G3004, What^G5101 would^G2309 this^G3778 babbler^G4691 say^G1161? others^G3588, He seemeth^G1380 to be^G1511 a setter forth^G2604 of strange^G3581 gods^G1140: because^G3754 he preached^G2097 Jesus^G2424 and^G2532 the resurrection^G386. 19And^G5037 they took^G1949 hold of him^G846, and brought^G71 him unto^G1909 the Areopagus^G697, saying^G3004, May^G1410 we know^G1097 what^G5101 this^G3778 new^G2537 teaching^G1322 is, which^G5259 is spoken^G2980 by thee^G4675? 20For^G1063 thou bringest^G1533 certain^G5100 strange^G3579 things to^G1519 our^G2257 ears^G189: we would^G1014 know^G1097 therefore^G3767 what^G5101 these things^G5023 mean^G1511. 21(Now^G1161 all^G3956 the Athenians^G117 and^G2532 the strangers^G3581 sojourning^G3588 there^G1927 spent their time^G2119 in^G1519 nothing^G3762 else^G2087, but either^G2228 to tell^G3004 or^G2532 to hear^G191 some^G5100 new thing^G2537.) 22And^G1161 Paul^G3972 stood^G2476 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of the Areopagus^G697, and said^G5346, Ye men^G435 of Athens^G117, in^G2596 all things^G3956, I perceive^G2334 that ye^G5209 are^G5613 very religious^G1174. 23For^G1063 as I passed along^G1330, and^G2532 observed^G333 the objects of your^G5216 worship^G4574, I found^G2147 also^G2532 an altar^G1041 with^G1722 this^G3739 inscription^G1924, TO AN UNKNOWN^G57 GOD^G2316. What^G3739 therefore^G3767 ye worship^G2151 in ignorance^G50, this^G5126 I^G1473 set forth^G2605 unto you^G5213. 24The God^G2316 that made^G4160 the world^G2889 and^G2532 all things^G3956 therein^G846, he^G3778, being^G5225 Lord^G2962 of heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093, dwelleth^G2730 not^G3756 in^G1722 temples^G3485 made with hands^G5499; 25neither^G3761 is he served^G2323 by^G5259 men's^G444 hands^G5495, as though he needed^G4326 anything^G5100, seeing he^G846 himself giveth^G1325 to all^G3956 life^G2222, and^G2532 breath^G4157, and^G2596 all things^G3956; 26and^G5037 he made^G4160 of^G1537 one^G1520 every^G3956 nation^G1484 of men^G444 to dwell^G2730 on^G1909 all^G3956 the face^G4383 of the earth^G1093, having determined^G3724 their appointed^G4384 seasons^G2540, and^G2532 the bounds^G3734 of their^G846 habitation^G2733; 27that they should seek^G2212 God^G2962, if^G1487 haply^G1065 they might feel after^G5584 him^G846 and^G2532 find^G2147 him^G846, though^G2544 he is^G5225 not^G3756 far^G3112 from^G575 each^G1538 one^G1520 of us^G2257: 28for^G1063 in^G1722 him^G846 we live^G2198, and^G2532 move^G2795, and^G2532 have our being^G2070; as^G5613 certain^G5100 even^G2532 of^G2596 your own^G5209 poets^G4163 have said^G2046, For^G1063 we are^G2070 also^G2532 his offspring^G1085. 29Being^G5225 then^G3767 the offspring^G1085 of God^G2316, we ought^G3784 not^G3756 to think that^G3543 the Godhead^G2304 is^G1511 like unto^G3664 gold^G5557, or^G2228 silver^G696, or^G2228 stone^G3037, graven^G5480 by art^G5078 and^G2532 device^G1761 of man^G444. 30The times^G5550 of ignorance^G52 therefore^G3767 God^G2316 overlooked^G5237; but^G3588 now^G3568 he commandeth^G3853 men^G444 that they should all^G3956 everywhere^G3837 repent^G3340: 31inasmuch^G1360 as he hath appointed^G2476 a day^G2250 in^G1722 which^G3739 he will^G3195 judge^G2919 the world^G3625 in^G1722 righteousness^G1343 by^G1722 the man^G435 whom^G3739 he hath ordained^G3724; whereof he hath given^G3930 assurance^G4102 unto all^G3956 men, in that he hath raised^G450 him^G846 from^G1537 the dead^G3498. 32Now^G1161 when they heard^G191 of the resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498, some^G3588 mocked^G5512; but^G1161 others^G3588 said^G2036, We will hear^G191 thee^G4675 concerning^G4012 this^G5127 yet again^G3825. 33Thus^G3779 Paul^G3972 went out^G1831 from^G1537 among^G3319 them^G846. 34But^G1161 certain^G5100 men^G435 clave^G2853 unto him^G846, and believed^G4100: among^G1722 whom also^G3739 was^G2532 Dionysius^G1354 the Areopagite^G698, and^G2532 a woman^G1135 named^G3686 Damaris^G1152, and^G2532 others^G2087 with^G4862 them^G846.
