Now
when
they
had
passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a
synagogue of the Jews :
And
having
passed through Amphipolis ,
and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the
synagogue of the Jews ,
And Paul, as
his
manner
was,
went in unto them, and three sabbath
days
reasoned
with them out
of
the scriptures
,
and according
to
the
custom
of
Paul, he
went in unto them, and for
three sabbaths
he
was
reasoning
with them from
the Writings
,
Opening and alleging, that Christ must
needs
have
suffered
, and risen
again from
the dead ;
and that this Jesus ,
whom I preach
unto
you ,
is
Christ
.
opening and alleging, `
That the
Christ it
behoved
to
suffer
, and to
rise
again out
of
the dead ,
and that this is
the
Christ
--
Jesus whom I proclaim
to
you. '
And some
of them believed
, and consorted
with
Paul and Silas ;
and
of the devout
Greeks a great multitude, and
of the chief
women not a few.
And certain
of them did
believe
, and attached
themselves
to
Paul and to
Silas ,
also
of the worshipping
Greeks a great multitude, of the principal
women also
not a few.
But
the Jews which
believed
not
, moved with envy, took
unto
them certain
lewd
fellows
of the baser
sort
, and gathered
a company
, and
set
all
the city on
an uproar ,
and
assaulted
the house of Jason, and
sought
to bring them out
to the people.
And
the unbelieving
Jews, having
been
moved with envy, and
having
taken
to
them of the loungers
certain
evil
men
, and having
made
a crowd
, were
setting
the city in
an uproar ;
having
assailed
also
the house of Jason, they
were
seeking
them
to bring `
them '
to the populace,
And when
they
found them not
, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers
of
the
city ,
crying
, These that
have
turned
the world upside
down
are come
hither
also ;
and not
having
found them, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the city rulers
, calling
aloud
--
`
These ,
having
put
the world in
commotion,
are also here
present,
Whom Jason hath received :
and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that
there
is
another king ,
one
Jesus.
whom Jason hath received ;
and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to
be
king --
Jesus. '
And they troubled the people
and the rulers
of
the
city, when
they
heard
these things .
And they troubled the multitude
and the city rulers
, hearing
these things ,
And when
they
had
taken
security of
Jason ,
and of
the other
, they let them go.
and having
taking
security from
Jason and the rest
, they let them go.
And the brethren immediately sent away
Paul and Silas by
night
unto
Berea :
who coming
thither
went into
the synagogue of the Jews .
And the brethren immediately ,
through
the
night,
sent forth
both
Paul and Silas to
Berea ,
who having
come,
went to
the synagogue of the Jews ;
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in
that
they received the word with all readiness of mind, and
searched
the scriptures
daily,
whether those things were so .
and
these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they received the word with all readiness of mind, every
day
examining
the Writings
whether those things were so ;
Therefore
many of them believed;
also
of honourable women which
were
Greeks,
and of
men ,
not a few.
many ,
indeed,
therefore,
of them did
believe,
and
of the
honourable Greek
women and men not a few.
But
when the Jews of
Thessalonica had
knowledge
that the word of God was
preached
of
Paul at
Berea
, they came thither also, and
stirred
up
the people.
And
when the Jews from
Thessalonica knew
that also
in
Berea
was
the word of God declared
by
Paul, they came thither also, agitating
the multitudes;
And then immediately the brethren sent away
Paul to go as it were to the sea :
but Silas and Timotheus
abode
there still
.
and then immediately the brethren sent forth
Paul ,
to go on
as it were to the sea ,
but both
Silas and Timothy
were
remaining
there.
And they
that
conducted
Paul brought him unto Athens :
and receiving
a commandment
unto Silas and Timotheus for
to
come
to
him
with all speed, they departed .
And those
conducting
Paul ,
brought him unto Athens ,
and having
received
a command
unto Silas and Timotheus that
with all speed they
may
come
unto
him
, they departed ;
Now
while
Paul waited
for them at
Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when
he
saw
the city wholly given to idolatry .
and
Paul waiting
for them in
Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding
the city wholly given to idolatry ,
Therefore disputed
he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout
persons, and in the market daily
with them
that
met with him.
therefore ,
indeed,
he was
reasoning
in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping
persons, and in the market -place
every
day
with those
who
met with him.
Then
certain philosophers
of the Epicureans,
and of the Stoicks
, encountered
him .
And some said
, What will
this babbler
say? other
some
, He seemeth
to be a
setter
forth
of
strange
gods:
because he
preached
unto
them
Jesus ,
and the resurrection.
And
certain of the Epicurean
and of the Stoic
philosophers
, were
meeting
together
to
see
him ,
and some were
saying
, `
What would
this seed
picker
wish
to
say? '
and
others
, `Of
strange
demons
he doth
seem
to be an
announcer;'
because Jesus and the rising
again
he
did
proclaim
to
them
as
good
news,
And
they
took
him, and
brought
him
unto Areopagus, saying, May
we know what this new doctrine,
whereof
thou
speakest,
is ?
having
also
taken
him, unto the
Areopagus they
brought
`him'
, saying, `Are
we able
to
know what `is'
this new teaching
that
is spoken
by
thee,
For thou
bringest
certain strange things to our ears :
we would
know therefore
what these things mean.
for certain strange things thou
dost
bring
to our ears ?
we wish,
then,
to
know what these things would
wish
to
be;'
(For
all the
Athenians and strangers which
were
there
spent
their
time
in
nothing else ,
but either
to tell
, or
to hear some new
thing. )
and
all Athenians ,
and the
strangers sojourning,
for
nothing else were
at
leisure
but to say
something
, and
to hear some newer
thing.
Then
Paul stood in the midst of Mars'
hill
, and
said, Ye
men of
Athens
, I
perceive
that
in all things ye
are
too
superstitious.
And
Paul ,
having
stood in the midst of the
Areopagus
, said, `
Men, Athenians,
in all things I
perceive
you
as
over-religious;
For as
I
passed
by,
and beheld
your devotions
, I found an altar
with
this
inscription,
TO THE
UNKNOWN
GOD .
Whom therefore ye ignorantly
worship, him
declare
I unto
you.
for passing
through
and contemplating
your objects
of
worship
, I found also
an erection
on
which
had
been
inscribed:
To God --
unknown;
whom ,
therefore --
not
knowing
--
ye do
worship, this
One
I announce
to
you.
God that
made
the world and all things therein
, seeing
that
he
is
Lord
of heaven and earth, dwelleth
not
in temples made with hands ;
`
God ,
who
did
make
the world ,
and all things in
it
, this
One,
of heaven and of
earth being
Lord
, in temples made with hands doth
not
dwell,
Neither is
worshipped
with
men's
hands ,
as
though
he needed
any
thing
, seeing
he giveth
to all life, and breath, and all things;
neither by
the
hands of
men
is
He served
--
needing
anything
, He giving
to all life, and breath, and all things;
And
hath
made of one blood all
nations
of men for
to dwell on
all the face of the earth ,
and
hath
determined
the
times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
He
made also
of one blood every
nation
of men ,
to dwell upon
all the face of the earth --
having
ordained
times before appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings
--
That
they
should
seek the Lord, if haply
they might
feel after him ,
and find him
, though he be
not far from every
one of us :
to
seek the Lord, if perhaps
they did
feel after Him and find, --
though ,
indeed,
He is
not far from each
one of us ,
For in him we live, and move, and have
our
being
; as certain
also of your own
poets have said ,
For we are also
his
offspring.
for in Him we live, and move, and are
; as also certain
of your poets have said :
For of
Him
also
we are offspring.
Forasmuch
then
as
we
are
the
offspring of God, we ought not to think that
the Godhead is
like unto
gold, or silver, or stone, graven
by
art and man's
device .
`Being,
therefore,
offspring of God, we ought not to think the Godhead to
be
like to
gold, or silver, or stone, graving
of
art and device of
man;
And
the times of this
ignorance God winked
at;
but
now commandeth
all men every
where
to repent:
the times ,
indeed,
therefore,
of the
ignorance God having
overlooked,
doth
now command
all men everywhere
to reform,
Because he hath
appointed
a day ,
in the
which he will
judge the world in righteousness by that
man whom he hath
ordained;
whereof
he
hath
given assurance unto
all men
, in
that
he
hath
raised him from
the dead.
because He did
set
a day in which He is
about
to
judge the world in righteousness ,
by a
man whom He did
ordain,
having
given assurance to
all, having
raised him out
of
the dead. '
And when
they
heard of the
resurrection
of the dead, some mocked:
and
others said, We will hear thee again of
this matter.
And having
heard of a
rising
again
of the dead, some ,
indeed,
were
mocking,
but
others said, `
We will hear thee again concerning
this ;'
So Paul departed
from among
them .
and
so Paul went
forth
from the
midst
of
them ,
Howbeit
certain men clave
unto
him, and
believed:
among the
which
was
Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named
Damaris, and others with them.
and
certain men having
cleaved
to
him, did
believe,
among whom
`is'
also
Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman ,
by
name
Damaris, and others with them.
