Acts 17

1NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG3588G295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG1510 a synagogueG3588G4864 of the JewsG2453: 2AndG1161 PaulG3588G3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532 threeG5140 sabbath daysG4521 reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG3588G1124, 3OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG3588G5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG4771, isG1510 ChristG3588G5547. 4AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 SilasG3588G4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.

5ButG1161 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 believed notG544, moved with envyG2206, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG3588G60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG3588G4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3588G3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG71 toG1519 the peopleG3588G1218. 6AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG3588G2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG3588G4173, cryingG994, TheseG3778 thatG3754 have turnedG387 the worldG3588G3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532; 7WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG3588G1378 of CæsarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1510 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424. 8AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3588G3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG3588G4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG3778. 9AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG3588G2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.

10AndG1161 the brethrenG3588G80 immediatelyG2112 sent awayG1599 PaulG3588G3972 andG2532 SilasG3588G4609 byG1223 nightG3588G3571 untoG1519 BereaG960: whoG3748 comingG3854 thither wentG549 intoG1519 the synagogueG3588G4864 of the JewsG3588G2453. 11TheseG3778 wereG1510 more nobleG2104 than thoseG3588 inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in thatG3748 they receivedG1209 the wordG3588G3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG3588G1124 dailyG2250, whetherG1487 those thingsG3778 wereG2192 soG3779. 12ThereforeG3767 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 believedG4100; alsoG2532 of honourableG2158 womenG1135 which wereG3588 GreeksG1674, andG2532 of menG435, notG3756 a fewG3641. 13ButG1161 whenG5613 the JewsG2453 ofG575 ThessalonicaG3588G2332 had knowledgeG1097 thatG3754 the wordG3588G3056 of GodG3588G2316 was preachedG2605 ofG5259 PaulG3588G3972 atG1722 BereaG3588G960, they cameG2064 thither alsoG2546, andG2532 stirred upG4531 the peopleG3588G3793. 14AndG1161 thenG5119 immediatelyG2112 the brethrenG3588G80 sent awayG1821 PaulG3588G3972 to goG4198 as it wereG5613 toG1909 the seaG3588G2281: butG1161 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimothyG3588G5095 abodeG5278 thereG1563 stillG5278. 15AndG1161 theyG3588 that conductedG2525 PaulG3588G3972 broughtG71 himG846 untoG2193 AthensG116: andG2532 receivingG2983 a commandmentG1785 untoG4314 SilasG3588G4609 andG2532 TimothyG5095 forG2443 to comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 withG5613 all speedG5033, they departedG1826.

16NowG1161 while PaulG3588G3972 waitedG1551 for themG846 atG1722 AthensG3588G116, hisG846 spiritG3588G4151 was stirredG3947 inG1722 himG846, whenG1510 he sawG2334 the cityG3588G4172 wholly given to idolatryG2712. 17ThereforeG3767 disputed heG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG3588G4864 with the JewsG3588G2453, andG2532 with the devout personsG3588G4576, andG2532 inG1722 the marketG3588G58 dailyG2596G3956G2250 withG4314 them thatG3588 met with himG3909. 18ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG3588G1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG3588G4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG2309 thisG3778 babblerG3588G4691 sayG3004? other someG3588, He seemethG1380 to beG1510 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG3588G2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG3588G386. 19AndG5037 they tookG1949 himG846, and brought himG71 untoG1909 AreopagusG3588G697, sayingG3004, MayG1410 we knowG1097 whatG5101 thisG3778 newG2537 doctrineG1322, whereofG5259 thouG4771 speakestG2980, is? 20ForG1063 thou bringestG1533 certainG5100 strangeG3579 things toG1519 ourG1473 earsG3588G189: we wouldG1014 knowG1097 thereforeG3767 whatG5101 these thingsG3778 meanG2309. 21(ForG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 strangersG3581 whichG3588 were thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 inG1519 nothingG3762 elseG2087, but eitherG2228 to tellG3004, orG2532 to hearG191 someG5100 new thingG2537.)

22ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 stoodG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of Mars’G3588G697 hillG697, and saidG5346, Ye menG435 of AthensG117, I perceiveG2334 that inG2596 all thingsG3956 yeG4771 areG5613 too superstitiousG1174. 23ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG4771 devotionsG3588G4574, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 withG1722 thisG3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG3778 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG4771. 24GodG3588G2316 that madeG4160 the worldG3588G2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499; 25NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men’sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2532 all thingsG3588G3956; 26AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG3588G4383 of the earthG3588G1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3588G3734 of theirG846 habitationG3588G2733; 27That they should seekG2212 the LordG3588G2962, ifG1487 haplyG1065 they might feel afterG5584 himG846, andG2532 findG2147 himG846, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG1473: 28ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG1510; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 ofG2596 your ownG4771 poetsG3588G4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG1510 alsoG2532 his offspringG3588G1085. 29Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG3588G2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to think thatG3543 the GodheadG2304 isG1510 like untoG3664 goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man’sG444 deviceG1761. 30AndG3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG3588G52 GodG3588G2316 winked atG5237; butG3588 nowG3568 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG3588G444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340: 31BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3588G3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498.

32AndG1161 when they heardG191 of the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3588 mockedG5512: andG1161 othersG3588 saidG3004, We will hearG191 theeG4771 againG3825 ofG4012 thisG3778 matter. 33SoG3779 PaulG3588G3972 departedG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846. 34HowbeitG1161 certainG5100 menG435 claveG2853 unto himG846, and believedG4100: amongG1722 the whichG3739 was DionysiusG1354 the AreopagiteG3588G698, andG2532 a womanG1135 namedG3686 DamarisG1152, andG2532 othersG2087 withG4862 themG846.
