Acts 17
1 Nowe as they passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a Synagogue of the Iewes.
διοδευσαντες δε την αμφιπολιν και την απολλωνιαν ηλθον εις θεσσαλονικην οπου ην συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
2 And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath daies disputed with them by the Scriptures,
κατα δε το ειωθος τω παυλω εισηλθεν προς αυτους και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοις απο των γραφων
3 Opening, and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered, and risen againe from the dead: and this is Iesus Christ, whom, said he, I preach to you.
διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενος οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτος εστιν ο χριστος {VAR1: ο } {VAR2: [ο] } ιησους ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
4 And some of them beleeued, and ioyned in companie with Paul and Silas: also of the Grecians that feared God a great multitude, and of the chiefe women not a fewe.
και τινες εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και {VAR1: [τω] } {VAR2: τω } σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πληθος πολυ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
5 But the Iewes which beleeued not, mooued with enuie, tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes, and whe they had assembled the multitude, they made a tumult in the citie, and made assault against the house of Iason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
ζηλωσαντες δε οι ιουδαιοι και προσλαβομενοι των αγοραιων ανδρας τινας πονηρους και οχλοποιησαντες εθορυβουν την πολιν και επισταντες τη οικια ιασονος εζητουν αυτους προαγαγειν εις τον δημον
6 But when they found them not, they drew Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heads of the citie, crying, These are they which haue subuerted the state of the world, and here they are,
μη ευροντες δε αυτους εσυρον ιασονα και τινας αδελφους επι τους πολιταρχας βοωντες οτι οι την οικουμενην αναστατωσαντες ουτοι και ενθαδε παρεισιν
7 Whom Iason hath receiued, and these all doe against the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another King, one Iesus.
ους υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντες απεναντι των δογματων καισαρος πρασσουσιν βασιλεα ετερον λεγοντες ειναι ιησουν
8 Then they troubled the people, and the heads of the citie, when they heard these things.
εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τους πολιταρχας ακουοντας ταυτα
9 Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe.
και λαβοντες το ικανον παρα του ιασονος και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτους
10 And the brethren immediatly sent away Paul and Silas by night vnto Berea, which when they were come thither, entred into ye Synagogue of the Iewes.
οι δε αδελφοι ευθεως δια νυκτος εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εις βεροιαν οιτινες παραγενομενοι εις την συναγωγην των ιουδαιων απηεσαν
11 These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινες εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασης προθυμιας {VAR1: [το] } καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντες τας γραφας ει εχοι ταυτα ουτως
12 Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe.
πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
13 But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people.
ως δε εγνωσαν οι απο της θεσσαλονικης ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη βεροια κατηγγελη υπο του παυλου ο λογος του θεου ηλθον κακει σαλευοντες και ταρασσοντες τους οχλους
14 But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
ευθεως δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι εως επι την θαλασσαν υπεμειναν τε ο τε σιλας και ο τιμοθεος εκει
15 And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed.
οι δε καθιστανοντες τον παυλον ηγαγον εως αθηνων και λαβοντες εντολην προς τον σιλαν και τον τιμοθεον ινα ως ταχιστα ελθωσιν προς αυτον εξηεσαν
16 Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie.
εν δε ταις αθηναις εκδεχομενου αυτους του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντος κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
17 Therefore he disputed in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with them that were religious, and in the market daily with whomesoeuer he met.
διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοις ιουδαιοις και τοις σεβομενοις και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προς τους παρατυγχανοντας
18 Then certaine Philosophers of the Epicures, and of the Stoickes, disputed with him, and some sayde, What will this babler say? Others sayde, He seemeth to be a setter forth of straunge gods (because hee preached vnto them Iesus, and the resurrection.)
τινες δε και των επικουρειων και 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 And they tooke him, and brought him into Mars streete, saying, May we not know, what this newe doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
επιλαβομενοι {VAR1: δε } {VAR2: τε } αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντες δυναμεθα γνωναι τις η καινη αυτη {VAR1: [η] } {VAR2: η } υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
20 For thou bringest certaine strange thinges vnto our eares: we woulde knowe therefore, what these things meane.
ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεις εις τας ακοας ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τινα θελει ταυτα ειναι
21 For all the Athenians, and strangers which dwelt there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but either to tell, or to heare some newes.
αθηναιοι δε παντες και οι επιδημουντες ξενοι εις ουδεν ετερον ηυκαιρουν η λεγειν τι η ακουειν τι καινοτερον
22 Then Paul stoode in the mids of Mars streete, and sayde, Yee men of Athens, I perceiue that in all things yee are too superstitious.
σταθεις δε {VAR2: [ο] } παυλος εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρες αθηναιοι κατα παντα ως δεισιδαιμονεστερους υμας θεωρω
23 For as I passed by, and behelde your deuotions, I founde an altar wherein was written, VNTO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him shewe I vnto you.
διερχομενος γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ο ουν αγνοουντες ευσεβειτε τουτο εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
24 God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,
ο θεος ο ποιησας τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτος ουρανου και γης υπαρχων κυριος ουκ εν χειροποιητοις ναοις κατοικει
25 Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things,
ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπινων θεραπευεται προσδεομενος τινος αυτος διδους πασιν ζωην και πνοην και τα παντα
26 And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation,
εποιησεν τε εξ ενος παν εθνος ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παντος προσωπου της γης ορισας προστεταγμενους καιρους και τας οροθεσιας της κατοικιας αυτων
27 That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs.
ζητειν τον θεον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν και γε ου μακραν απο ενος εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
28 For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.
εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ως και τινες των καθ υμας ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενος εσμεν
29 Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention 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 And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent,
τους μεν ουν χρονους της αγνοιας υπεριδων ο θεος τα νυν {VAR1: απαγγελλει } {VAR2: παραγγελλει } τοις ανθρωποις παντας πανταχου μετανοειν
31 Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead.
καθοτι 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 from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing.
ακουσαντες δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπαν ακουσομεθα σου περι τουτου και παλιν
33 And so Paul departed from among them.
ουτως ο παυλος εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
34 Howbeit certaine men claue vnto Paul, and beleeued: among whome was also Denys Areopagita, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them.
τινες δε ανδρες κολληθεντες αυτω επιστευσαν εν οις και διονυσιος {VAR1: [ο] } {VAR2: ο } αρεοπαγιτης και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρις και ετεροι συν αυτοις
