Actes 17

1 Paul preacheth at Thessalonica, 4 where some believe, and others persecute him. 10 He is sent to Berea, and preacheth there. 13 Being persecuted at Thessalonica, 15 he cometh to Athens, and disputeth, and preacheth the living God to them unknown, 34 whereby many are converted unto Christ.

 17:1 ¶ Now 1161 when they had passed thorow 1353 z5660 Amphipolis, 295 and 2532 Apollonia, 624 they came 2064 z5627 to 1519 Thessalonica, 2332 where 3699 was 2258 z5713 a synagogue 4864 of the x3588 Iewes. 2453

 17:2 And 1161 Paul, 3972 as y2596 his maner was, 1486 z5756 x2596 went in 1525 z5627 vnto 4314 them, 846 and 2532 y1909 three 5140 Sabbath y4521 dayes x4521 reasoned 1256 z5711 with them 846 out of 575 the x3588 Scriptures, 1124

 17:3 Opening 1272 z5723 and 2532 alleadging, 3908 z5734 that 3754 Christ 5547 must needs 1163 z5713 haue suffered 3958 z5629 and 2532 risen againe 450 z5629 from 1537 the dead: 3498 and 2532 that 3754 this 3778 Iesus 2424 whom 3739 I 1473 preach 2605 z5719 vnto you, 5213 is 2076 z5748 Christ. 5547

 17:4 And 2532 some 5100 of 1537 them 846 beleeued, 3982 z5681 and 2532 consorted y4345 z5681 with x4345 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas: 4609 and 5037 of the x3588 deuout 4576 z5740 Greekes 1672 a great 4183 multitude, 4128 and 5037 of the x3588 chiefe 4413 women 1135 not 3756 a few. 3641

 17:5 ¶ But 1161 the x3588 Iewes 2453 which beleeued not, 544 z5723 mooued with enuie, 2206 2532 z5660 tooke vnto x4355 them y4355 z5642 certaine 5100 lewd 4190 fellowes 435 of the x3588 baser sort, 60 and 2532 gathered a company, 3792 z5660 and set all y2350 z0 the citie y4172 on an vprore, y2350 z5707 x2530 x3588 x4172 and 5037 assaulted 2186 z5631 the x3588 house 3614 of Iason, 2394 and sought 2212 z5707 to x846 bring y71 z5629 them y846 out y1519 x71 to x1519 the x3588 people. 1218

 17:6 And 1161 when they found 2147 z5631 them 846 not, 3361 they drew 4951 z5707 Iason, 2394 and 2532 certaine 5100 brethren 80 vnto 1909 the x3588 rulers of the citie, 4173 crying, 994 z5723 y3754 These 3778 that haue turned y387 z0 the world y3625 vpside downe, 387 z5660 x3588 x3625 are come 3918 z5748 hither 1759 also, 2532

 17:7 Whom 3739 Iason 2394 hath receiued: 5264 z5766 and 2532 these 3778 all 3956 doe 4238 z5719 contrary 561 to the x3588 decrees 1378 of Cesar, 2541 saying, 3004 z5723 that there is 1511 z5750 another 2087 King, 935 [one] Iesus. 2424

 17:8 And 1161 they troubled 5015 z5656 the x3588 people, 3793 and 2532 the x3588 rulers of the citie, 4173 when they heard 191 z5723 these things. 5023

 17:9 And 2532 when they had taken 2983 z5631 securitie 2425 of 3844 Iason, 2394 and 2532 of the x3588 other, 3062 they let y630 z0 them y846 goe. 630 z5656 x846

 17:10 ¶ And 1161 the x3588 brethren 80 immediatly 2112 sent away 1599 5037 z5656 Paul 3972 and 2532 Silas 4609 by 1223 night 3571 vnto 1519 Berea: 960 who 3748 comming 3854 z5637 thither, went 549 z5713 into 1519 the x3588 Synagogue 4864 of the x3588 Iewes. 2453

 17:11 y1161 These 3778 were 2258 z5713 more noble 2104 then those x3588 in 1722 Thessalonica, 2332 in that they 3748 receiued 1209 z5662 the x3588 word 3056 with 3326 all 3956 readinesse of minde, 4288 and searched 350 z5723 the x3588 Scriptures 1124 dayly, 2250 2596 whether 1487 those things 5023 were 2192 z5722 so. 3779

 17:12 Therefore 3767 y3303 many 4183 x3303 of 1537 them 846 beleeued: 4100 z5656 also 2532 of honourable 2158 women 1135 which y3588 were Greekes, 1674 and 2532 of men 435 not 3756 a few. 3641

 17:13 But 1161 when 5613 the x3588 Iewes 2453 of 575 Thessalonica 2332 had knowledge 1097 z5627 that 3754 y2532 the x3588 word 3056 of God 2316 was preached 2605 z5648 of 5259 Paul 3972 at 1722 Berea, 960 they came 2064 z5627 thither also, 2546 and stirred vp 4531 z5723 the x3588 people. 3793

 17:14 And 1161 then 5119 immediatly 2112 the x3588 brethren 80 sent away 1821 z5656 Paul, 3972 to goe 4198 z5738 as it were 5613 to 1909 the x3588 sea: 2281 but 1161 5037 Silas 4609 and 2532 Timotheus 5095 abode 5278 z0 there 1563 still. y5278 z5707

 17:15 And 1161 they that conducted 2525 z5723 Paul, 3972 brought 71 z5627 him 846 vnto 2193 Athens, 116 and 2532 receiuing 2983 z5631 a commaundement 1785 vnto 4314 Silas 4609 and 2532 Timotheus, 5095 for to y2443 come 2064 z5632 to 4314 him 846 with all speed, 5613 5033 they departed. 1826 z5713

 17:16 ¶ Now 1161 while Paul 3972 waited for 1551 z5740 them 846 at 1722 Athens, 116 his y846 x848 spirit 4151 was stirred 3947 z5712 in 1722 him, 846 when hee saw 2334 z5723 the x3588 city 4172 wholy giuen y5607 z5752 to idolatrie. 2712

 17:17 Therefore 3767 y3303 disputed x1256 he y1256 z5711 x3303 in 1722 the x3588 Synagogue 4864 with the x3588 Iewes, 2453 and 2532 with the x3588 deuout persons, 4576 z5740 and 2532 in 1722 the x3588 market 58 dayly 2596 3956 2250 with y4314 x4313 them that met with x3909 him. y3909 z5723

 17:18 Then 1161 certaine 5100 Philosophers 5386 of the x3588 Epicureans, 1946 and 2532 of the x3588 Stoikes, y4770 x4470 encountred 4820 z5707 him: 846 and 2532 some 5100 said, 3004 z5707 What 5101 will 302 2309 z5722 this 3778 babbler 4691 say? 3004 1161 z5721 Othersome, x3588 He seemeth 1380 z5719 to be 1511 z5750 a setter foorth 2604 of strange 3581 gods: 1140 because 3754 hee preached 2097 z5710 vnto them 846 Iesus, 2424 and 2532 the x3588 resurrection. 386

 17:19 And 5037 they tooke 1949 z5637 him, 846 and brought x71 him y71 z5627 vnto 1909 Areopagus, 697 saying, 3004 z5723 May 1410 z5736 we know 1097 z5629 what 5101 this 3778 new 2537 doctrine, 1322 whereof y5259 x3588 thou 4675 speakest, 2980 z5746 is?

 17:20 For 1063 thou bringest 1533 z5719 certaine 5100 strange things 3579 z5723 to 1519 our 2257 eares: 189 we would 1014 z5736 know 1097 z5629 therefore 3767 what 5101 these things 5023 meane. 302 2309 1511 z5722 z5750

 17:21 (For 1161 all 3956 the Athenians 117 and 2532 strangers 3581 which y3588 were there, 1927 z5723 spent their time 2119 z5707 in 1519 nothing 3762 else, 2087 but x2228 either y2228 to tell 3004 z5721 or 2532 to heare 191 z5721 some 5100 new thing.) 2537

 17:22 ¶ Then 1161 Paul 3972 stood 2476 z5685 in 1722 the mids 3319 of Mars-hill, 697 and said, 5346 z5713 Yee men 435 of Athens, 117 I perceiue 2334 z5719 that y5613 in 2596 all things 3956 yee 5209 are x5613 too superstitious. 1174

 17:23 For 1063 as I passed by, 1330 z5740 and 2532 beheld 333 z5723 your 5216 deuotions, 4574 y2532 I found 2147 z5627 an x2532 Altar 1041 with this y1722 y3739 inscription, 1924 z5718 x1722 x3739 TO THE VNKNOWEN 57 GOD. 2316 Whom 3739 therefore 3767 yee ignorantly 50 z5723 worship, 2151 z5719 him 5126 declare y2605 z5719 x2065 I 1473 vnto you. 5213

 17:24 God 2316 that made 4160 z5660 the x3588 world, 2889 and 2532 all things 3956 therein, 1722 846 seeing that hee 3778 is 5225 z5723 Lord 2962 of heauen 3772 and 2532 earth, 1093 dwelleth 2730 z5719 not 3756 in 1722 Temples 3485 made with hands: 5499

 17:25 Neither 3761 is worshipped 2323 z5743 with 5259 mens 444 hands 5495 as though he needed 4326 z5740 any thing, 5100 seeing hee 846 giueth 1325 z5723 to all, 3956 life 2222 and 2532 breath, 4157 and y2596 all things, 3956 x2596

 17:26 And 5037 hath made 4160 z5656 of 1537 one 1520 blood 129 all 3956 nations 1484 of men, 444 for to dwell 2730 z5721 on 1909 all 3956 the x3588 face 4383 of the x3588 earth, 1093 and hath determined 3724 z5660 the times 2540 before appointed, 4384 z5772 and 2532 the x3588 bounds 3734 of their y846 x848 habitation: 2733

 17:27 That they should seeke 2212 z5721 the x3588 Lord, 2962 if 1487 haply 686 x1065 they might feele y5584 z5659 after x5584 him 846 and 2532 finde x2147 him, y2147 z5630 though 2544 he be 5225 z5723 not 3756 farre 3112 from 575 euery 1538 one 1520 of vs. 2257

 17:28 For 1063 in 1722 him 846 we liue, 2198 z5719 and 2532 mooue, 2795 z5743 and 2532 haue our being, 2070 z5748 as 5613 certaine 5100 also 2532 of your y5209 owne 2596 x5209 Poets 4163 haue said, 2046 z5758 For 1063 we are 2070 z5748 also 2532 his 5120 offspring. 1085

 17:29 Forasmuch then 3767 as wee are 5225 z5723 the offspring 1085 of God, 2316 wee ought 3784 z5719 not 3756 to thinke 3543 z5721 that the x3588 Godhead 2304 is 1511 z5750 like y3664 vnto x3664 golde, 5557 or 2228 siluer, 696 or 2228 stone 3037 grauen 5480 by arte, 5078 and 2532 mans 444 deuice. 1761

 17:30 And 3303 3767 the x3588 times 5550 of this ignorance 52 God 2316 winked x5237 at, y5237 z5660 but now 3569 commandeth 3853 z5719 all 3956 men 444 euery where 3837 to repent: 3340 z5721

 17:31 Because 1360 hee hath appointed 2476 z5656 a day 2250 in 1722 the which 3739 he will 3195 z5719 iudge 2919 z5721 the x3588 world 3625 in 1722 righteousnesse, 1343 by 1722 that man 435 whom 3739 hee hath ordeined, 3724 z5656 whereof he hath giuen 3930 z5631 assurance 4102 vnto all 3956 men, in that he hath raised 450 z5660 him 846 from 1537 the dead. 3498

 17:32 ¶ And 1161 when they heard 191 z5660 of the resurrection 386 of the dead, 3498 some 3303 x3588 mocked: 5512 z5707 and 1161 others x3588 said, 2036 z5627 Wee will heare 191 z5695 thee 4675 againe 3825 of 4012 this 5127 matter.

 17:33 x2532 So 3779 y2532 Paul 3972 departed 1831 z5627 from 1537 among 3319 them. 846

 17:34 Howbeit, 1161 certaine 5100 men 435 claue 2853 z5685 vnto him, 846 and x2532 beleeued: 4100 z5656 among 1722 the which 3739 y2532 was Dionysius 1354 the x3588 Areopagite, 698 and 2532 a woman 1135 named 3686 Damaris, 1152 and 2532 others 2087 with 4862 them. 846
