Berean Standard Bible
And
having
passed through Amphipolis ,
and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the
synagogue of
the
Jews,
When
they
had
passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there
was a
Jewish
synagogue .
and
according
to
the
custom of
Paul
, he
went in
unto
them
, and for
three sabbaths he was
reasoning
with them from the Writings
,
As
was
his
custom, Paul
went into
the
synagogue
, and on
three Sabbaths he reasoned
with them from the Scriptures
,
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. '
explaining
and proving
that the Christ had
to suffer and rise from
the dead .
“
This Jesus I am
proclaiming
to you is
the
Christ,”
he
declared
.
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.
Some
of the
Jews
were
persuaded
and joined
Paul and Silas, along
with
a large
number
of God-fearing
Greeks
and
quite
a few leading
women
.
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,
The Jews, however
, became
jealous.
So
they
brought
in
some
troublemakers
from
the marketplace
, formed
a mob
, and
sent
the city into
an uproar .
They
raided
Jason’s
house in
search
of Paul
and
Silas
, hoping
to bring them out
to the people.
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
,
But
when
they
could
not find
them, they dragged
Jason and some
other
brothers
before
the city officials
, shouting
, “These
men
who
have
turned
the world upside
down
have
now
come
here,
whom
Jason
hath
received;
and these
all do
contrary
to
the
decrees of
Caesar
, saying another to
be
king --
Jesus .'
and Jason
has
welcomed
them
into
his
home.
They
are
all defying
Caesar’s
decrees, saying that
there
is
another king ,
named
Jesus !”
And
they
troubled
the multitude
and the
city rulers,
hearing
these
things,
On
hearing
this,
the crowd
and city officials
were
greatly
disturbed.
and having
taking
security
from Jason and the rest
, they
let
them go
.
And they
collected
bond
from Jason and the others
, and
then
released
them.
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;
As
soon
as
night had
fallen
, the
brothers
sent Paul and Silas away
to Berea .
On
arriving
there
, they
went into
the Jewish
synagogue .
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;
Now
the
Bereans
were more noble -minded
than the
Thessalonians
, for
they received the message
with great
eagerness
and
examined
the
Scriptures
every day to
see
if
these
teachings
were true.
many,
indeed,
therefore
, of them did
believe
, and
of
the
honourable
Greek women and men not
a
few
.
As
a
result
, many
of them believed
, along
with
quite
a
few
prominent
Greek women and men.
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;
But
when the Jews from Thessalonica learned
that Paul
was also
proclaiming
the word of God in
Berea
, they went
there
themselves
to
incite
and
agitate
the crowds.
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
.
The brothers
immediately
sent Paul to the coast
, but Silas and Timothy remained
in
Berea
.
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;
Those who
escorted
Paul brought him to
Athens and then
returned
with
instructions
for
Silas and Timothy
to
join
him as
soon
as
possible.
and
Paul waiting for them in Athens, his
spirit
was stirred
in him,
beholding
the city wholly
given
to
idolatry,
While
Paul was
waiting for them in Athens, he
was deeply
disturbed
in his
spirit
to
see
that
the city was
full
of
idols.
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
.
So
he reasoned
in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing
Gentiles
, and in the marketplace
with those he
met each
day
.
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 ,
Some
Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also
began
to debate
with
him .
Some of
them
asked
, “
What is
this babbler
trying
to say? ”
Others said
, “
He seems
to be advocating
foreign
gods.”
They
said
this
because Paul
was
proclaiming
the good news of
Jesus
and
the
resurrection.
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,
So
they
took
Paul
and
brought
him to
the Areopagus ,
where
they asked
him, “May
we know what this new teaching is that
you
are
presenting?
for certain
strange things
thou
dost
bring
to our ears ?
we
wish
, then,
to know what these
things
would
wish
to
be;'
For you
are
bringing
some
strange notions
to our ears, and
we
want
to know what they
mean.”
and
all Athenians ,
and the
strangers
sojourning,
for
nothing else
were
at
leisure
but
to
say
something,
and to
hear
some
newer
thing
.
Now
all the
Athenians and foreigners
who
lived
there
spent
their
time
doing
nothing more
than
hearing
and articulating
new
ideas
.
And
Paul ,
having
stood in the midst
of the Areopagus ,
said, `
Men ,
Athenians
, in
all
things
I perceive
you as
over-
religious ;
Then
Paul stood up
in the meeting
of the Areopagus and
said, “
Men of
Athens
, I see
that
in
every
way
you are
very
religious .
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.
For as
I
walked
around
and examined
your objects of worship, I even
found an altar
with
this
inscription
: TO AN
UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore what
you
worship as
something
unknown
, I now
proclaim
to you.
`
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,
The
God who made
the world and everything
in it is
the
Lord
of heaven and earth and
does
not
live
in temples made by
human
hands .
neither
by
the
hands
of
men
is He served --
needing
anything, He giving
to
all
life ,
and breath ,
and all
things;
Nor
is He served by
human
hands,
as
if
He
needed
anything, because
He Himself
gives
everyone
life and breath and everything
else.
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
--
From
one
man
He made every nation of men, that
they
should
inhabit
the whole
earth ;
and
He
determined
their
appointed times
and the boundaries
of their lands.
to
seek the
Lord,
if
perhaps they
did
feel
after
Him and find, --
though ,
indeed,
He is not far from each one of us ,
God
intended
that
they
would
seek Him
and
perhaps reach
out
for
Him and find Him
, though He is not far from each one of us .
for in Him we live ,
and move ,
and are;
as also
certain
of your poets have said :
For
of
Him
also
we are offspring.
‘
For in Him we live and move and have
our
being.’
As some
of your own
poets have said ,
‘
We are His
offspring. ’
`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;
Therefore, being
offspring of God, we should
not think that
the Divine
Being
is
like gold or silver or stone, an
image
formed
by
man’s
skill
and imagination.
the
times,
indeed,
therefore,
of
the
ignorance
God having
overlooked, doth
now command
all men
everywhere to reform,
Although
God overlooked the
ignorance
of
earlier
times
, He
now commands
all people
everywhere to repent.
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. '
For
He has
set a day when
He will
judge the world with
justice
by the
Man He has
appointed.
He
has
given proof
of
this
to everyone
by
raising
Him from
the dead. ”
And
having
heard of
a
rising
again
of the dead, some ,
indeed,
were
mocking
, but others said, `
We will
hear thee
again concerning
this ;'
When
they
heard about
the
resurrection
of the dead, some began
to
mock
him
, but others said, “
We want
to
hear you
again on
this topic.”
and
so
Paul went
forth
from
the midst
of
them,
At
that,
Paul left
the Areopagus.
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.
But
some
joined
him and
believed
, including
Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named
Damaris, and others who
were
with them.
