AC-17:1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and

Apollonia,

they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

AC-17:2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and
three

sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

AC-17:3 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.

AC-17:4 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.

AC-17:5 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.

AC-17:6 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;

AC-17:7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to
the

decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, [one]
Jesus.

AC-17:8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city,

when they heard these things.

AC-17:9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the

other, they let them go.

AC-17:10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas
by

night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of

the Jews.

AC-17:11 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.

AC-17:12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable
women

which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

AC-17:13 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.

AC-17:14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go
as

it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

AC-17:15 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.

AC-17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit
was

stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

AC-17:17 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.

AC-17:18 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.

AC-17:19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus,
saying,

May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, [is]?

AC-17:20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears:
we

would know therefore what these things mean.

AC-17:21 (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.)

AC-17:22 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.

AC-17:23 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. AC-17:24

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;

AC-17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he
needed

any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all
things;

AC-17:26 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;

AC-17:27 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:

AC-17:28 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.

AC-17:29 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.

AC-17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now

commandeth all men every where to repent:

AC-17:31 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.

AC-17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead,
some

mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
[matter].

AC-17:33 So Paul departed from among them.

AC-17:34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among

the which [was] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named
Damaris,

and others with them.
