Acts 17
- 1 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews,
- 2 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them, and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the Writings,
- 3 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.'
- 4 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.
-
5 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, - 6 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,
- 7 whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king--Jesus.'
- 8 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers, hearing these things,
- 9 and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
- 10 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;
- 11 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;
- 12 many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the honourable Greek women and men not a few.
- 13 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;
- 14 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.
- 15 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;
- 16 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,
- 17 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.
- 18 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,
-
19 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, - 20 for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'
- 21 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
- 22 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, said, `Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as over-religious;
- 23 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.
- 24 `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,
- 25 neither by the hands of men is He served--needing anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things;
- 26 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--
- 27 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and find, --though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us,
- 28 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring.
- 29 `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;
- 30 the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform,
- 31 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.'
- 32 And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'
- 33 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,
-
34 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.
