< Acts 17 >

1 Having passed through then Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where was (the *k) a synagogue of the Jews.
διοδευσαντες δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εις θεσσαλονικην οπου ην η συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
2 According to now the being customary with Paul he went in to them, and for Sabbaths three (he reasoned *N+kO) with them from the Scriptures,
κατα δε το ειωθος τω παυλω εισηλθεν προς αυτους και επι σαββατα τρια διελεγετο αυτοις απο των γραφων
3 opening and setting forth that the Christ it was being necessary to have suffered and to have risen out from [the] dead and that this is the Christ Jesus whom I myself preach to you.
διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενος οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτος εστιν ο χριστος ιησους ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
4 And some of them were obedient and they joined themselves to Paul and to Silas, along with worshipping Greeks a multitude great of women then leading not a few.
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 Having become jealous now (the *o) ([being] disobedient *K) Jews and having taken to [them] of the market-loungers men certain wicked and having collected a crowd they were setting in uproar the city, (and *N+kO) having assailed the house of Jason they were seeking them (to bring out *N+kO) to the people;
ζηλωσαντες δε οι απειθουντες ιουδαιοι και προσλαβομενοι των αγοραιων τινας ανδρας πονηρους και οχλοποιησαντες εθορυβουν την πολιν επισταντες τε τη οικια ιασονος εζητουν αυτους αγαγειν εις τον δημον
6 Not having found however them they were dragging Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities crying out that The [ones] the world having upset these also here are come,
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 has received Jason; And these all contrary to the decrees of Caesar do king another proclaiming to be Jesus.
ους υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντες απεναντι των δογματων καισαρος πραττουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντες ετερον ειναι ιησουν
8 They stirred up then the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things;
εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τους πολιταρχας ακουοντας ταυτα
9 And having taken security from Jason and the rest they let go them.
και λαβοντες το ικανον παρα του ιασονος και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτους
10 And the brothers immediately through night sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having arrived into the synagogue of the Jews were going.
οι δε αδελφοι ευθεως δια της νυκτος εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εις βεροιαν οιτινες παραγενομενοι εις την συναγωγην των ιουδαιων απηεσαν
11 These now were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all readiness every day examining the Scriptures if would be these things 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 indeed therefore of them believed, and of the Grecian women prominent and men not a few.
πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
13 When however knew those from Thessalonica Jews that also in Berea was proclaimed by Paul the word of God, they came there also there also stirring up (and agitating *NO) the crowds.
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 Immediately also then Paul sent away the brothers to go (until *N+kO) to the sea; (remained but *N+kO) both Silas and Timothy there.
ευθεως δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι ως επι την θαλασσαν υπεμενον δε ο τε σιλας και ο τιμοθεος εκει
15 Those now (escorting *N+kO) Paul brought (him *k) unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and Timothy that as quickly as possible they may come to him they were departing.
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 In now Athens is waiting for them Paul was provoked the spirit of him in him (seeing *N+kO) utterly idolatrous to be the city.
εν δε ταις αθηναις εκδεχομενου αυτους του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντι κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
17 He was reasoning indeed therefore in the synagogue with the Jews and with those worshiping and in the marketplace on every day with those meeting [him];
διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοις ιουδαιοις και τοις σεβομενοις και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προς τους παρατυγχανοντας
18 Some then also of the Epicureans and (of the *k) Stoics philosophers were encountering him; And some were saying; What maybe would intend babbler this to say? Others however; Of foreign gods he seems a proclaimer to be; because Jesus and the resurrection (to them *k) he was evangelising.
τινες δε των επικουρειων και των στωικων 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 αυτοις ευηγγελιζετο
19 Having taken hold (also *NK+o) of him to the Ares Hill they brought [him] saying; Are we able to know what [is] new this which by you is spoken teaching?
επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντες δυναμεθα γνωναι τις η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
20 Strange things for some you are bringing to the ears of us; We resolve therefore to know (what [things] *N+kO) (maybe *k) (intends *N+kO) these things to be.
ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεις εις τας ακοας ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τι αν θελοι ταυτα ειναι
21 [The] Athenians now all and the visiting strangers in no [thing] else were spending their time than to tell something (and *N+kO) to hear something new.
αθηναιοι δε παντες και οι επιδημουντες ξενοι εις ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
22 Having stood then Paul in [the] midst of the Ares Hill he was saying; Men Athenians, in all things as very religious you I behold;
σταθεις δε ο παυλος εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρες αθηναιοι κατα παντα ως δεισιδαιμονεστερους υμας θεωρω
23 Passing through for and beholding the objects of worship of you I found even an altar on which had been inscribed: To an unknown God. (whom *N+kO) therefore not knowing you worship, (Him *N+KO) I myself proclaim 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 having made the world and all things that [are] in it, He of heaven and earth being Lord not in hand-made temples dwells,
ο θεος ο ποιησας τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτος ουρανου και γης κυριος υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοις ναοις κατοικει
25 nor by hands (human *N+kO) is He served as needing anything, Himself giving to all life and breath (and *N+KO) (the *N+kO) all;
ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενος τινος αυτος διδους πασιν ζωην και πνοην και τα παντα
26 He made then of one (blood *K) every nation of men to dwell upon (all [the] face *N+kO) of the earth, determining (ordered *N+kO) times and the boundaries of the habitation of them
εποιησεν τε εξ ενος αιματος παν εθνος ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παν το προσωπον της γης ορισας προτεταγμενους καιρους και τας οροθεσιας της κατοικιας αυτων
27 to seek (God, *N+KO) if perhaps indeed they would touch Him and would find [Him], And (indeed *N+kO) not far from one each of us He is.
ζητειν τον κυριον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν καιτοιγε ου μακραν απο ενος εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
28 In Him for we live and move and are,’ As also some of the among you poets have said; of [Him] For also offspring we are.’
εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ως και τινες των καθ υμας ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενος εσμεν
29 Offspring therefore being of God not we ought to consider to gold or to silver or to stone, a graven thing of craft and imagination of man, the Divine Being to be like.
γενος ουν υπαρχοντες του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνης και ενθυμησεως ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
30 The indeed therefore times of ignorance having overlooked God now (He commands *NK+O) to men (all *N+kO) everywhere to repent;
τους μεν ουν χρονους της αγνοιας υπεριδων ο θεος τα νυν παραγγελλει τοις ανθρωποις πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
31 (just as *N+kO) He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He appointed a guarantee having provided to all, having raised Him out 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 Having heard of now a resurrection of [the] dead some indeed were mocking [him], some however said; We will hear you concerning this (also *no) again.
ακουσαντες δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
33 (and *k) Thus Paul went out from [the] midst of them.
και ουτως ο παυλος εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
34 Some however men having joined themselves to him believed, among whom also [were] 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
