Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
διοδευσαντεσ δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εισ θεσσαλονικην οπου ην η συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
κατα δε το ειωθοσ τω παυλω εισηλθεν προσ αυτουσ και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοισ απο των γραφων
3 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”
διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενοσ οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ ιησουσ ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
4 Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.
και τινεσ εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και τω σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
5 But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.
προσλαβομενοι δε οι ιουδαιοι οι απειθουντεσ των αγοραιων τινασ ανδρασ πονηρουσ και οχλοποιησαντεσ εθορυβουν την πολιν επισταντεσ τε τη οικια ιασονοσ εζητουν αυτουσ αγαγειν εισ τον δημον
6 When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
μη ευροντεσ δε αυτουσ εσυρον τον ιασονα και τινασ αδελφουσ επι τουσ πολιταρχασ βοωντεσ οτι οι την οικουμενην αναστατωσαντεσ ουτοι και ενθαδε παρεισιν
7 whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”
ουσ υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντεσ απεναντι των δογματων καισαροσ πρασσουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντεσ ετερον ειναι ιησουν
8 The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τουσ πολιταρχασ ακουοντασ ταυτα
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
και λαβοντεσ το ικανον παρα του ιασονοσ και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτουσ
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
οι δε αδελφοι ευθεωσ δια τησ νυκτοσ εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εισ βεροιαν οιτινεσ παραγενομενοι εισ την συναγωγην απηεσαν των ιουδαιων
11 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.
ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινεσ εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασησ προθυμιασ το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντεσ τασ γραφασ ει εχοι ταυτα ουτωσ
12 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.
ωσ δε εγνωσαν οι απο τησ θεσσαλονικησ ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη βεροια κατηγγελη υπο του παυλου ο λογοσ του θεου ηλθον κακει σαλευοντεσ τουσ οχλουσ
14 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.
ευθεωσ δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι ωσ επι την θαλασσαν υπεμενον δε ο τε σιλασ και ο τιμοθεοσ εκει
15 But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
οι δε καθιστωντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον αυτον εωσ αθηνων και λαβοντεσ εντολην προσ τον σιλαν και τιμοθεον ινα ωσ ταχιστα ελθωσιν προσ αυτον εξηεσαν
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
εν δε ταισ αθηναισ εκδεχομενου αυτουσ του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντι κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοισ ιουδαιοισ και τοισ σεβομενοισ και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προσ τουσ παρατυγχανοντασ
18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.
τινεσ δε και των επικουρειων και των στοικων φιλοσοφων συνεβαλλον αυτω και τινεσ ελεγον τι αν θελοι ο σπερμολογοσ ουτοσ λεγειν οι δε ξενων δαιμονιων δοκει καταγγελευσ ειναι οτι τον ιησουν και την αναστασιν ευηγγελιζετο
19 They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?
επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντεσ δυναμεθα γνωναι τισ η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”
ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεισ εισ τασ ακοασ ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τι αν θελοι ταυτα ειναι
21 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
αθηναιοι δε παντεσ και οι επιδημουντεσ ξενοι εισ ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
22 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
σταθεισ δε ο παυλοσ εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρεσ αθηναιοι κατα παντα ωσ δεισιδαιμονεστερουσ υμασ θεωρω
23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.
διερχομενοσ γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ον ουν αγνοουντεσ ευσεβειτε τουτον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
24 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.
ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτοσ ουρανου και γησ κυριοσ υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει
25 He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.
ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενοσ τινοσ αυτοσ διδουσ πασιν ζωην και πνοην κατα παντα
26 He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,
εποιησεν τε εξ ενοσ αιματοσ παν εθνοσ ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παν το προσωπον τησ γησ ορισασ προστεταγμενουσ καιρουσ και τασ οροθεσιασ τησ κατοικιασ αυτων
27 that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
ζητειν τον κυριον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν και γε ου μακραν απο ενοσ εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
28 ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’
εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ωσ και τινεσ των καθ υμασ ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενοσ εσμεν
29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.
γενοσ ουν υπαρχοντεσ του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνησ και ενθυμησεωσ ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,
τουσ μεν ουν χρονουσ τησ αγνοιασ υπεριδων ο θεοσ τα νυν παραγγελλει τοισ ανθρωποισ πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
31 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”
διοτι εστησεν ημεραν εν η μελλει κρινειν την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη εν ανδρι ω ωρισεν πιστιν παρασχων πασιν αναστησασ αυτον εκ νεκρων
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”
ακουσαντεσ δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
33 Thus Paul went out from among them.
και ουτωσ ο παυλοσ εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
34 But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
τινεσ δε ανδρεσ κολληθεντεσ αυτω επιστευσαν εν οισ και διονυσιοσ ο αρεοπαγιτησ και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρισ και ετεροι συν αυτοισ
