17:1 Now
when
they
had
passed
thorow
Amphipolis,
and
Apollonia,
they
came
to
Thessalonica,
where
was
a
synagogue
of
the
Iewes.
17:2 And
Paul,
as
his
maner
was,
went
in
vnto
them,
and
three
Sabbath
dayes
reasoned
with
them
out
of
the
Scriptures,
17:3 Opening
and
alleadging,
that
Christ
must
needs
haue
suffered
and
risen
againe
from
the
dead:
and
that
this
Iesus
whom
I
preach
vnto
you,
is
Christ.
17:4 And
some
of
them
beleeued,
and
consorted
with
Paul
and
Silas:
and
of
the
deuout
Greekes
a
great
multitude,
and
of
the
chiefe
women
not
a
few.
17:5 But
the
Iewes
which
beleeued
not,
mooued
with
enuie,
tooke
vnto
them
certaine
lewd
fellowes
of
the
baser
sort,
and
gathered
a
company,
and
set
all
the
citie
on
an
vprore,
and
assaulted
the
house
of
Iason,
and
sought
to
bring
them
out
to
the
people.
17:6 And
when
they
found
them
not,
they
drew
Iason,
and
certaine
brethren
vnto
the
rulers
of
the
citie,
crying,
These
that
haue
turned
the
world
vpside
downe,
are
come
hither
also,
17:7 Whom
Iason
hath
receiued:
and
these
all
doe
contrary
to
the
decrees
of
Cesar,
saying,
that
there
is
another
King,
one
Iesus.
17:8 And
they
troubled
the
people,
and
the
rulers
of
the
citie,
when
they
heard
these
things.
17:9 And
when
they
had
taken
securitie
of
Iason,
and
of
the
other,
they
let
them
goe.
17:10 And
the
brethren
immediatly
sent
away
Paul
and
Silas
by
night
vnto
Berea:
who
comming
thither,
went
into
the
Synagogue
of
the
Iewes.
17:11 These
were
more
noble
then
those
in
Thessalonica,
in
that
they
receiued
the
word
with
all
readinesse
of
minde,
and
searched
the
Scriptures
dayly,
whether
those
things
were
so.
17:12 Therefore
many
of
them
beleeued:
also
of
honourable
women
which
were
Greekes,
and
of
men
not
a
few.
17:13 But
when
the
Iewes
of
Thessalonica
had
knowledge
that
the
word
of
God
was
preached
of
Paul
at
Berea,
they
came
thither
also,
and
stirred
vp
the
people.
17:14 And
then
immediatly
the
brethren
sent
away
Paul,
to
goe
as
it
were
to
the
sea:
but
Silas
and
Timotheus
abode
there
still.
17:15 And
they
that
conducted
Paul,
brought
him
vnto
Athens,
and
receiuing
a
commaundement
vnto
Silas
and
Timotheus,
for
to
come
to
him
with
all
speed,
they
departed.
17:16 Now
while
Paul
waited
for
them
at
Athens,
his
spirit
was
stirred
in
him,
when
hee
saw
the
city
wholy
giuen
to
idolatrie.
17:17 Therefore
disputed
he
in
the
Synagogue
with
the
Iewes,
and
with
the
deuout
persons,
and
in
the
market
dayly
with
them
that
met
with
him.
17:18 Then
certaine
Philosophers
of
the
Epicureans,
and
of
the
Stoikes,
encountred
him:
and
some
said,
What
will
this
babbler
say
Othersome,
He
seemeth
to
be
a
setter
foorth
of
strange
gods:
because
hee
preached
vnto
them
Iesus,
and
the
resurrection.
17:19 And
they
tooke
him,
and
brought
him
vnto
Areopagus,
saying,
May
we
know
what
this
new
doctrine,
whereof
thou
speakest,
is
17:20 For
thou
bringest
certaine
strange
things
to
our
eares:
we
would
know
therefore
what
these
things
meane.
17:21 (For
all
the
Athenians
and
strangers
which
were
there,
spent
their
time
in
nothing
else,
but
either
to
tell
or
to
heare
some
new
thing.)
17:22 Then
Paul
stood
in
the
mids
of
Mars-hill,
and
said,
Yee
men
of
Athens,
I
perceiue
that
in
all
things
yee
are
too
superstitious.
17:23 For
as
I
passed
by,
and
beheld
your
deuotions,
I
found
an
Altar
with
this
inscription,
TO
THE
VNKNOWEN
GOD.
Whom
therefore
yee
ignorantly
worship,
him
declare
I
vnto
you.
17:24 God
that
made
the
world,
and
all
things
therein,
seeing
that
hee
is
Lord
of
heauen
and
earth,
dwelleth
not
in
Temples
made
with
hands:
17:25 Neither
is
worshipped
with
mens
hands
as
though
he
needed
any
thing,
seeing
hee
giueth
to
all,
life
and
breath,
and
all
things,
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:
17:27 That
they
should
seeke
the
Lord,
if
haply
they
might
feele
after
him
and
finde
him,
though
he
be
not
farre
from
euery
one
of
vs.
17:28 For
in
him
we
liue,
and
mooue,
and
haue
our
being,
as
certaine
also
of
your
owne
Poets
haue
said,
For
we
are
also
his
offspring.
17:29 Forasmuch
then
as
wee
are
the
offspring
of
God,
wee
ought
not
to
thinke
that
the
Godhead
is
like
vnto
golde,
or
siluer,
or
stone
grauen
by
arte,
and
mans
deuice.
17:30 And
the
times
of
this
ignorance
God
winked
at,
but
now
commandeth
all
men
euery
where
to
repent:
17:31 Because
hee
hath
appointed
a
day
in
the
which
he
will
iudge
the
world
in
righteousnesse,
by
that
man
whom
hee
hath
ordeined,
whereof
he
hath
giuen
assurance
vnto
all
men,
in
that
he
hath
raised
him
from
the
dead.
17:32 And
when
they
heard
of
the
resurrection
of
the
dead,
some
mocked:
and
others
said,
Wee
will
heare
thee
againe
of
this
matter.
17:33 So
Paul
departed
from
among
them.
17:34 Howbeit,
certaine
men
claue
vnto
him,
and
beleeued:
among
the
which
was
Dionysius
the
Areopagite,
and
a
woman
named
Damaris,
and
others
with
them.
