Acts 15:40--18:22

And
<1161>
Paul
<3972>
chose
<1951> (5671)
Silas
<4609>_,
and departed
<1831> (5627)_,
being recommended
<3860> (5685)
by
<5259>
the brethren
<80>
unto the grace
<5485>
of God
<2316>_.
And
<1161>
he went through
<1330> (5711)
Syria
<4947>
and
<2532>
Cilicia
<2791>_,
confirming
<1991> (5723)
the churches
<1577>_.
Then
<1161>
came he
<2658> (5656)
to
<1519>
Derbe
<1191>
and
<2532>
Lystra
<3082>_:
and
<2532>_,
behold
<2400> (5628)_,
a certain
<5100>
disciple
<3101>
was
<2258> (5713)
there
<1563>_,
named
<3686>
Timotheus
<5095>_,
the son
<5207>
of a certain
<5100>
woman
<1135>_,
which was a Jewess
<2453>_,
and believed
<4103>_;
but
<1161>
his father
<3962>
[was] a Greek
<1672>_:
Which
<3739>
was well reported
<3140> (5712)
of by
<5259>
the brethren
<80>
that were at
<1722>
Lystra
<3082>
and
<2532>
Iconium
<2430>_.
Him
<5126>
would
<2309> (5656)
Paul
<3972>
have to go forth
<1831> (5629)
with
<4862>
him
<846>_;
and
<2532>
took
<2983> (5631)
and circumcised
<4059> (5627)
him
<846>
because
<1223>
of the Jews
<2453>
which
<3588>
were
<5607> (5752)
in
<1722>
those
<1565>
quarters
<5117>_:
for
<1063>
they knew
<1492> (5715)
all
<537>
that
<3754>
his
<846>
father
<3962>
was
<5225> (5707)
a Greek
<1672>_.
And
<1161>
as
<5613>
they went through
<1279> (5711)
the cities
<4172>_,
they delivered
<3860> (5707)
them
<846>
the decrees
<1378>
for to keep
<5442> (5721)_,
that were ordained
<2919> (5772)
of
<5259>
the apostles
<652>
and
<2532>
elders
<4245>
which
<3588>
were at
<1722>
Jerusalem
<2419>_.
And so
<3303> <3767>
were
<4732> (0)
the churches
<1577>
established
<4732> (5712)
in the faith
<4102>_,
and
<2532>
increased
<4052> (5707)
in number
<706>
daily
<2250> <2596>_.
Now
<1161>
when they had gone throughout
<1330> (5631)
Phrygia
<5435>
and
<2532>
the region
<5561>
of Galatia
<1054>_,
and were forbidden
<2967> (5685)
of
<5259>
the Holy
<40>
Ghost
<4151>
to preach
<2980> (5658)
the word
<3056>
in
<1722>
Asia
<773>_,
After they were come
<2064> (5631)
to
<2596>
Mysia
<3465>_,
they assayed
<3985> (5707)
to go
<4198> (5738)
into
<2596>
Bithynia
<978>_:
but
<2532>
the Spirit
<4151>
suffered
<1439> (5656)
them
<846>
not
<3756>_.
And
<1161>
they passing by
<3928> (5631)
Mysia
<3465>
came down
<2597> (5627)
to
<1519>
Troas
<5174>_.
And
<2532>
a vision
<3705>
appeared
<3700> (5681)
to Paul
<3972>
in
<1223>
the night
<3571>_;
There stood
<2258> (5713) <2476> (5761)
a man
<5100> <435>
of Macedonia
<3110>_,
and prayed
<3870> (5723)
him
<846>_,

<2532>
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Come over
<1224> (5631)
into
<1519>
Macedonia
<3109>_,
and help
<997> (5657)
us
<2254>_.
And
<1161>
after
<5613>
he had seen
<1492> (5627)
the vision
<3705>_,
immediately
<2112>
we endeavoured
<2212> (5656)
to go
<1831> (5629)
into
<1519>
Macedonia
<3109>_,
assuredly gathering
<4822> (5723)
that
<3754>
the Lord
<2962>
had called
<4341> (5766)
us
<2248>
for to preach the gospel
<2097> (5670)
unto them
<846>_.
Therefore
<3767>
loosing
<321> (5685)
from
<575>
Troas
<5174>_,
we came with a straight course
<2113> (5656)
to
<1519>
Samothracia
<4543>_,
and
<5037>
the next
<1966> (5752)
[day] to
<1519>
Neapolis
<3496>_;
And
<5037>
from thence
<1564>
to
<1519>
Philippi
<5375>_,
which
<3748>
is
<2076> (5748)
the chief
<4413>
city
<4172>
of that part
<3310>
of Macedonia
<3109>_,
[and] a colony
<2862>_:
and
<1161>
we were
<2258> (5713)
in
<1722>
that
<5026>
city
<4172>
abiding
<1304> (5723)
certain
<5100>
days
<2250>_.
{the chief: or, the first}
And
<5037>
on the sabbath
<4521> <2250>
we went
<1831> (5627)
out of
<1854>
the city
<4172>
by
<3844>
a river side
<4215>_,
where
<3757>
prayer
<4335>
was wont
<3543> (5712)
to be made
<1511> (5750)_;
and
<2532>
we sat down
<2523> (5660)_,
and spake
<2980> (5707)
unto the women
<1135>
which resorted
<4905> (5631)
[thither]. {sabbath: Gr. sabbath day}
And
<2532>
a certain
<5100>
woman
<1135>
named
<3686>
Lydia
<3070>_,
a seller of purple
<4211>_,
of the city
<4172>
of Thyatira
<2363>_,
which worshipped
<4576> (5740)
God
<2316>_,
heard
<191> (5707)
[us]: whose
<3739>
heart
<2588>
the Lord
<2962>
opened
<1272> (5656)_,
that she attended
<4337> (5721)
unto the things which were spoken
<2980> (5746)
of
<5259>
Paul
<3972>_.
And
<1161>
when
<5613>
she was baptized
<907> (5681)_,
and
<2532>
her
<846>
household
<3624>_,
she besought
<3870> (5656)
[us], saying
<3004> (5723)_,
If
<1487>
ye have judged
<2919> (5758)
me
<3165>
to be
<1511> (5750)
faithful
<4103>
to the Lord
<2962>_,
come
<1525> (5631)
into
<1519>
my
<3450>
house
<3624>_,
and abide
<3306> (5657)
[there]. And
<2532>
she constrained
<3849> (5662)
us
<2248>_.
And
<1161>
it came to pass
<1096> (5633)_,
as we
<2257>
went
<4198> (5740)
to
<1519>
prayer
<4335>_,
a certain
<5100>
damsel
<3814>
possessed
<2192> (5723)
with a spirit
<4151>
of divination
<4436>
met
<528> (5658)
us
<2254>_,
which
<3748>
brought
<3930> (5707)
her
<846>
masters
<2962>
much
<4183>
gain
<2039>
by soothsaying
<3132> (5740)_:
{of divination: or, of Python}
The same
<3778>
followed
<2628> (5660)
Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
us
<2254>_,
and cried
<2896> (5707)_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
These
<3778>
men
<444>
are
<1526> (5748)
the servants
<1401>
of the most high
<5310>
God
<2316>_,
which
<3748>
shew
<2605> (5719)
unto us
<2254>
the way
<3598>
of salvation
<4991>_.
And
<1161>
this
<5124>
did she
<4160> (5707) <1909>
many
<4183>
days
<2250>_.
But
<1161>
Paul
<3972>_,
being grieved
<1278> (5666)_,
turned
<1994> (5660)
and
<2532>
said
<2036> (5627)
to the spirit
<4151>_,
I command
<3853> (5719)
thee
<4671>
in
<1722>
the name
<3686>
of Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>
to come
<1831> (5629)
out of
<575>
her
<846>_.
And
<2532>
he came out
<1831> (5627)
the same
<846>
hour
<5610>_.
And
<1161>
when her
<846>
masters
<2962>
saw
<1492> (5631)
that
<3754>
the hope
<1680>
of their
<846>
gains
<2039>
was gone
<1831> (5627)_,
they caught
<1949> (5637)
Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
Silas
<4609>_,
and drew
<1670> (5656)
[them] into
<1519>
the marketplace
<58>
unto
<1909>
the rulers
<758>_,
{marketplace: or, court}
And
<2532>
brought
<4317> (5631)
them
<846>
to the magistrates
<4755>_,
saying
<2036> (5627)_,
These
<3778>
men
<444>_,
being
<5225> (5723)
Jews
<2453>_,
do exceedingly trouble
<1613> (5719)
our
<2257>
city
<4172>_,
And
<2532>
teach
<2605> (5719)
customs
<1485>_,
which
<3739>
are
<1832> (0)
not
<3756>
lawful
<1832> (5748)
for us
<2254>
to receive
<3858> (5738)_,
neither
<3761>
to observe
<4160> (5721)_,
being
<5607> (5752)
Romans
<4514>_.
And
<2532>
the multitude
<3793>
rose up together
<4911> (5627)
against
<2596>
them
<846>_:
and
<2532>
the magistrates
<4755>
rent off
<4048> (5660)
their
<846>
clothes
<2440>_,
and commanded
<2753> (5707)
to beat
<4463> (5721)
[them].
And
<5037>
when they had laid
<2007> (5631)
many
<4183>
stripes
<4127>
upon them
<846>_,
they cast
<906> (5627)
[them] into
<1519>
prison
<5438>_,
charging
<3853> (5660)
the jailor
<1200>
to keep
<5083> (5721)
them
<846>
safely
<806>_:
Who
<3739>_,
having received
<2983> (5761)
such
<5108>
a charge
<3852>_,
thrust
<906> (5627)
them
<846>
into
<1519>
the inner
<2082>
prison
<5438>_,
and
<2532>
made
<805> (0)
their
<846>
feet
<4228>
fast
<805> (5662)
in
<1519>
the stocks
<3586>_.
And
<1161>
at
<2596>
midnight
<3317>
Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
Silas
<4609>
prayed
<4336> (5740)_,
and sang praises
<5214> (5707)
unto God
<2316>_:
and
<1161>
the prisoners
<1198>
heard
<1874> (5711)
them
<846>_.
And
<1161>
suddenly
<869>
there was
<1096> (5633)
a great
<3173>
earthquake
<4578>_,
so that
<5620>
the foundations
<2310>
of the prison
<1201>
were shaken
<4531> (5683)_:
and
<5037>
immediately
<3916>
all
<3956>
the doors
<2374>
were opened
<455> (5681)_,
and
<2532>
every one's
<3956>
bands
<1199>
were loosed
<447> (5681)_.
And
<1161>
the keeper of the prison
<1200>
awaking
<1096> (5637)
out of his sleep
<1853>_,
and
<2532>
seeing
<1492> (5631)
the prison
<5438>
doors
<2374>
open
<455> (5772)_,
he drew out
<4685> (5671)
his sword
<3162>_,
and would
<3195> (5707)
have killed
<337> (5721)
himself
<1438>_,
supposing
<3543> (5723)
that the prisoners
<1198>
had been fled
<1628> (5755)_.
But
<1161>
Paul
<3972>
cried
<5455> (5656)
with a loud
<3173>
voice
<5456>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Do
<4238> (5661)
thyself
<4572>
no
<3367>
harm
<2556>_:
for
<1063>
we are
<2070> (5748)
all
<537>
here
<1759>_.
Then
<1161>
he called
<154> (5660)
for a light
<5457>_,
and sprang in
<1530> (5656)_,
and
<2532>
came
<1096> (5637)
trembling
<1790>_,
and fell down before
<4363> (5627)
Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
Silas
<4609>_,
And
<2532>
brought
<4254> (5631)
them
<846>
out
<1854>_,
and said
<5346> (5713)_,
Sirs
<2962>_,
what
<5101>
must
<1163> (5748)
I
<3165>
do
<4160> (5721)
to
<2443>
be saved
<4982> (5686)_?
And
<1161>
they said
<2036> (5627)_,
Believe
<4100> (5657)
on
<1909>
the Lord
<2962>
Jesus
<2424>
Christ
<5547>_,
and
<2532>
thou
<4771>
shalt be saved
<4982> (5701)_,
and
<2532>
thy
<4675>
house
<3624>_.
And
<2532>
they spake
<2980> (5656)
unto him
<846>
the word
<3056>
of the Lord
<2962>_,
and
<2532>
to all
<3956>
that were in
<1722>
his
<846>
house
<3614>_.
And
<2532>
he took
<3880> (5631)
them
<846> <1722>
the same
<1565>
hour
<5610>
of the night
<3571>_,
and washed
<3068> (5656)
[their] stripes
<575> <4127>_;
and
<2532>
was baptized
<907> (5681)_,
he
<846>
and
<2532>
all
<3956>
his
<846>_,
straightway
<3916>_.
And
<5037>
when he had brought
<321> (5631)
them
<846>
into
<1519>
his house
<3624>_,
he set
<3908> (0)
meat
<5132>
before them
<3908> (5656)_,
and
<2532>
rejoiced
<21> (5662)_,
believing
<4100> (5761)
in God
<2316>
with all
<3832> (0)
his
<846>
house
<3832>_.
And
<1161>
when it was
<1096> (5637)
day
<2250>_,
the magistrates
<4755>
sent
<649> (5656)
the serjeants
<4465>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
Let
<630> (0)
those
<1565>
men
<444>
go
<630> (5657)_.
And
<1161>
the keeper of the prison
<1200>
told
<518> (5656)
this
<5128>
saying
<3056>
to
<4314>
Paul
<3972>_,

<3754>
The magistrates
<4755>
have sent
<649> (5758)
to
<2443>
let you go
<630> (5686)_:
now
<3568>
therefore
<3767>
depart
<1831> (5631)_,
and go
<4198> (5737)
in
<1722>
peace
<1515>_.
But
<1161>
Paul
<3972>
said
<5346> (5713)
unto
<4314>
them
<846>_,
They have beaten
<1194> (5660)
us
<2248>
openly
<1219>
uncondemned
<178>_,
being
<5225> (5723)
Romans
<4514> <444>_,
and have cast
<906> (5627)
[us] into
<1519>
prison
<5438>_;
and
<2532>
now
<3568>
do they thrust
<1544> (0)
us
<2248>
out
<1544> (5719)
privily
<2977>_?
nay
<3756>
verily
<1063>_;
but
<235>
let them come
<2064> (5631)
themselves
<846>
and fetch
<1806> (0)
us
<2248>
out
<1806> (5628)_.
And
<1161>
the serjeants
<4465>
told
<312> (5656)
these
<5023>
words
<4487>
unto the magistrates
<4755>_:
and
<2532>
they feared
<5399> (5675)_,
when they heard
<191> (5660)
that
<3754>
they were
<1526> (5748)
Romans
<4514>_.
And
<2532>
they came
<2064> (5631)
and besought
<3870> (5656)
them
<846>_,
and
<2532>
brought [them] out
<1806> (5631)_,
and desired
<2065> (5707)
[them] to depart out
<1831> (5629)
of the city
<4172>_.
And
<1161>
they went
<1831> (5631)
out of
<1537>
the prison
<5438>_,
and entered
<1525> (5627)
into
<1519>
[the house of] Lydia
<3070>_:
and
<2532>
when they had seen
<1492> (5631)
the brethren
<80>_,
they comforted
<3870> (5656)
them
<846>_,
and
<2532>
departed
<1831> (5627)_.
Now
<1161>
when they had passed through
<1353> (5660)
Amphipolis
<295>
and
<2532>
Apollonia
<624>_,
they came
<2064> (5627)
to
<1519>
Thessalonica
<2332>_,
where
<3699>
was
<2258> (5713)
a synagogue
<4864>
of the Jews
<2453>_:
And
<1161>
Paul
<3972>_,
as
<2596>
his manner was
<1486> (5756)_,
went in
<1525> (5627)
unto
<4314>
them
<846>_,
and
<2532> <1909>
three
<5140>
sabbath
<4521>
days reasoned
<1256> (5711)
with them
<846>
out of
<575>
the scriptures
<1124>_,
Opening
<1272> (5723)
and
<2532>
alleging
<3908> (5734)_,
that
<3754>
Christ
<5547>
must needs
<1163> (5713)
have suffered
<3958> (5629)_,
and
<2532>
risen again
<450> (5629)
from
<1537>
the dead
<3498>_;
and
<2532>
that
<3754>
this
<3778>
Jesus
<2424>_,
whom
<3739>
I
<1473>
preach
<2605> (5719)
unto you
<5213>_,
is
<2076> (5748)
Christ
<5547>_.
{whom...: or, whom, said he, I preach}
And
<2532>
some
<5100>
of
<1537>
them
<846>
believed
<3982> (5681)_,
and
<2532>
consorted
<4345> (5681)
with Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
Silas
<4609>_;
and
<5037>
of the devout
<4576> (5740)
Greeks
<1672>
a great
<4183>
multitude
<4128>_,
and
<5037>
of the chief
<4413>
women
<1135>
not
<3756>
a few
<3641>_.
But
<1161>
the Jews
<2453>
which believed not
<544> (5723)_,
moved with envy
<2206> (5660)_,

<2532>
took unto them
<4355> (5642)
certain
<5100>
lewd
<4190>
fellows
<435>
of the baser sort
<60>_,
and
<2532>
gathered a company
<3792> (5660)_,
and set all
<2350> (0)
the city
<4172>
on an uproar
<2350> (5707)_,
and
<5037>
assaulted
<2186> (5631)
the house
<3614>
of Jason
<2394>_,
and sought
<2212> (5707)
to bring
<71> (5629)
them
<846>
out
<1519>
to the people
<1218>_.
And
<1161>
when they found
<2147> (5631)
them
<846>
not
<3361>_,
they drew
<4951> (5707)
Jason
<2394>
and
<2532>
certain
<5100>
brethren
<80>
unto
<1909>
the rulers of the city
<4173>_,
crying
<994> (5723)_,

<3754>
These
<3778>
that have turned
<387> (0)
the world
<3625>
upside down
<387> (5660)
are come
<3918> (5748)
hither
<1759>
also
<2532>_;
Whom
<3739>
Jason
<2394>
hath received
<5264> (5766)_:
and
<2532>
these
<3778>
all
<3956>
do
<4238> (5719)
contrary
<561>
to the decrees
<1378>
of Caesar
<2541>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)
that there is
<1511> (5750)
another
<2087>
king
<935>_,
[one] Jesus
<2424>_.
And
<1161>
they troubled
<5015> (5656)
the people
<3793>
and
<2532>
the rulers of the city
<4173>_,
when they heard
<191> (5723)
these things
<5023>_.
And
<2532>
when they had taken
<2983> (5631)
security
<2425>
of
<3844>
Jason
<2394>_,
and
<2532>
of the other
<3062>_,
they let
<630> (0)
them
<846>
go
<630> (5656)_.
And
<1161>
the brethren
<80>
immediately
<2112>
sent away
<1599> (5656) <5037>
Paul
<3972>
and
<2532>
Silas
<4609>
by
<1223>
night
<3571>
unto
<1519>
Berea
<960>_:
who
<3748>
coming
<3854> (5637)
[thither] went
<549> (5713)
into
<1519>
the synagogue
<4864>
of the Jews
<2453>_.
<1161>@ These
<3778>
were
<2258> (5713)
more noble
<2104>
than those in
<1722>
Thessalonica
<2332>_,
in that they
<3748>
received
<1209> (5662)
the word
<3056>
with
<3326>
all
<3956>
readiness of mind
<4288>_,
and searched
<350> (5723)
the scriptures
<1124>
daily
<2250> <2596>_,
whether
<1487>
those things
<5023>
were
<2192> (5722)
so
<3779>_.
Therefore
<3767> <3303>
many
<4183>
of
<1537>
them
<846>
believed
<4100> (5656)_;
also
<2532>
of honourable
<2158>
women
<1135>
which
<3588>
were Greeks
<1674>_,
and
<2532>
of men
<435>_,
not
<3756>
a few
<3641>_.
But
<1161>
when
<5613>
the Jews
<2453>
of
<575>
Thessalonica
<2332>
had knowledge
<1097> (5627)
that
<3754> <2532>
the word
<3056>
of God
<2316>
was preached
<2605> (5648)
of
<5259>
Paul
<3972>
at
<1722>
Berea
<960>_,
they came
<2064> (5627)
thither also
<2546>_,
and stirred up
<4531> (5723)
the people
<3793>_.
And
<1161>
then
<5119>
immediately
<2112>
the brethren
<80>
sent away
<1821> (5656)
Paul
<3972>
to go
<4198> (5738)
as it were
<5613>
to
<1909>
the sea
<2281>_:
but
<1161> <5037>
Silas
<4609>
and
<2532>
Timotheus
<5095>
abode
<5278> (0)
there
<1563>
still
<5278> (5707)_.
And
<1161>
they that conducted
<2525> (5723)
Paul
<3972>
brought
<71> (5627)
him
<846>
unto
<2193>
Athens
<116>_:
and
<2532>
receiving
<2983> (5631)
a commandment
<1785>
unto
<4314>
Silas
<4609>
and
<2532>
Timotheus
<5095>
for to
<2443>
come
<2064> (5632)
to
<4314>
him
<846>
with all speed
<5613> <5033>_,
they departed
<1826> (5713)_.
Now
<1161>
while Paul
<3972>
waited for
<1551> (5740)
them
<846>
at
<1722>
Athens
<116>_,
his
<846>
spirit
<4151>
was stirred
<3947> (5712)
in
<1722>
him
<846>_,
when he saw
<2334> (5723)
the city
<4172>
wholly given
<5607> (5752)
to idolatry
<2712>_.
{wholly...: or, full of idols}
Therefore
<3767> <3303>
disputed he
<1256> (5711)
in
<1722>
the synagogue
<4864>
with the Jews
<2453>_,
and
<2532>
with the devout persons
<4576> (5740)_,
and
<2532>
in
<1722>
the market
<58>
daily
<2596> <3956> <2250>
with
<4314>
them that met with him
<3909> (5723)_.
Then
<1161>
certain
<5100>
philosophers
<5386>
of the Epicureans
<1946>_,
and
<2532>
of the Stoicks
<4770>_,
encountered
<4820> (5707)
him
<846>_.
And
<2532>
some
<5100>
said
<3004> (5707)_,
What
<5101>
will
<302> <2309> (5722)
this
<3778>
babbler
<4691>
say
<3004> (5721)_?

<1161>
other some, He seemeth
<1380> (5719)
to be
<1511> (5750)
a setter forth
<2604>
of strange
<3581>
gods
<1140>_:
because
<3754>
he preached
<2097> (5710)
unto them
<846>
Jesus
<2424>_,
and
<2532>
the resurrection
<386>_.
{babbler: or, base fellow}
And
<5037>
they took
<1949> (5637)
him
<846>_,
and brought him
<71> (5627)
unto
<1909>
Areopagus
<697>_,
saying
<3004> (5723)_,
May
<1410> (5736)
we know
<1097> (5629)
what
<5101>
this
<3778>
new
<2537>
doctrine
<1322>_,
whereof
<5259>
thou
<4675>
speakest
<2980> (5746)_,
[is]? {Areopagus: or, Mars' hill: it was the highest court in Athens}
For
<1063>
thou bringest
<1533> (5719)
certain
<5100>
strange things
<3579> (5723)
to
<1519>
our
<2257>
ears
<189>_:
we would
<1014> (5736)
know
<1097> (5629)
therefore
<3767>
what
<5101>
these things
<5023>
mean
<302> <2309> (5722) <1511> (5750)_.
(For
<1161>
all
<3956>
the Athenians
<117>
and
<2532>
strangers
<3581>
which
<3588>
were there
<1927> (5723)
spent their time
<2119> (5707)
in
<1519>
nothing
<3762>
else
<2087>_,
but either
<2228>
to tell
<3004> (5721)_,
or
<2532>
to hear
<191> (5721)
some
<5100>
new thing
<2537>.)
Then
<1161>
Paul
<3972>
stood
<2476> (5685)
in
<1722>
the midst
<3319>
of Mars' hill
<697>_,
and said
<5346> (5713)_,
[Ye] men
<435>
of Athens
<117>_,
I perceive
<2334> (5719)
that
<5613>
in
<2596>
all things
<3956>
ye
<5209>
are too superstitious
<1174>_.
{Mars' hill: or, the court of the Areopagites}
For
<1063>
as I passed by
<1330> (5740)_,
and
<2532>
beheld
<333> (5723)
your
<5216>
devotions
<4574>_,

<2532>
I found
<2147> (5627)
an altar
<1041>
with this
<1722> <3739>
inscription
<1924> (5718)_,
TO THE UNKNOWN
<57>
GOD
<2316>_.
Whom
<3739>
therefore
<3767>
ye ignorantly
<50> (5723)
worship
<2151> (5719)_,
him
<5126>
declare
<2605> (5719)
I
<1473>
unto you
<5213>_.
{devotions: or, gods that ye worship}
God
<2316>
that made
<4160> (5660)
the world
<2889>
and
<2532>
all things
<3956>
therein
<1722> <846>_,
seeing that he
<3778>
is
<5225> (5723)
Lord
<2962>
of heaven
<3772>
and
<2532>
earth
<1093>_,
dwelleth
<2730> (5719)
not
<3756>
in
<1722>
temples
<3485>
made with hands
<5499>_;
Neither
<3761>
is worshipped
<2323> (5743)
with
<5259>
men's
<444>
hands
<5495>_,
as though he needed
<4326> (5740)
any thing
<5100>_,
seeing he
<846>
giveth
<1325> (5723)
to all
<3956>
life
<2222>_,
and
<2532>
breath
<4157>_,
and
<2596>
all things
<3956>_;
And
<5037>
hath made
<4160> (5656)
of
<1537>
one
<1520>
blood
<129>
all
<3956>
nations
<1484>
of men
<444>
for to dwell
<2730> (5721)
on
<1909>
all
<3956>
the face
<4383>
of the earth
<1093>_,
and hath determined
<3724> (5660)
the times
<2540>
before appointed
<4384> (5772)_,
and
<2532>
the bounds
<3734>
of their
<846>
habitation
<2733>_;
That they should seek
<2212> (5721)
the Lord
<2962>_,
if
<1487>
haply
<686>
they might feel
<5584> (5659)
after him
<846>_,
and
<2532>
find him
<2147> (5630)_,
though
<2544>
he be
<5225> (5723)
not
<3756>
far
<3112>
from
<575>
every
<1538>
one
<1520>
of us
<2257>_:
For
<1063>
in
<1722>
him
<846>
we live
<2198> (5719)_,
and
<2532>
move
<2795> (5743)_,
and
<2532>
have our being
<2070> (5748)_;
as
<5613>
certain
<5100>
also
<2532>
of your
<5209>
own
<2596>
poets
<4163>
have said
<2046> (5758)_,
For
<1063>
we are
<2070> (5748)
also
<2532>
his
<5120>
offspring
<1085>_.
Forasmuch then
<3767>
as we are
<5225> (5723)
the offspring
<1085>
of God
<2316>_,
we ought
<3784> (5719)
not
<3756>
to think
<3543> (5721)
that the Godhead
<2304>
is
<1511> (5750)
like
<3664>
unto gold
<5557>_,
or
<2228>
silver
<696>_,
or
<2228>
stone
<3037>_,
graven
<5480>
by art
<5078>
and
<2532>
man's
<444>
device
<1761>_.
And
<3303> <3767>
the times
<5550>
of this ignorance
<52>
God
<2316>
winked at
<5237> (5660)_;
but now
<3569>
commandeth
<3853> (5719)
all
<3956>
men
<444>
every where
<3837>
to repent
<3340> (5721)_:
Because
<1360>
he hath appointed
<2476> (5656)
a day
<2250>_,
in
<1722>
the which
<3739>
he will
<3195> (5719)
judge
<2919> (5721)
the world
<3625>
in
<1722>
righteousness
<1343>
by
<1722>
[that] man
<435>
whom
<3739>
he hath ordained
<3724> (5656)_;
[whereof] he hath given
<3930> (5631)
assurance
<4102>
unto all
<3956>
[men], in that he hath raised
<450> (5660)
him
<846>
from
<1537>
the dead
<3498>_.
{hath given...: or, offered faith}
And
<1161>
when they heard
<191> (5660)
of the resurrection
<386>
of the dead
<3498>_,
some
<3303>
mocked
<5512> (5707)_:
and
<1161>
others said
<2036> (5627)_,
We will hear
<191> (5695)
thee
<4675>
again
<3825>
of
<4012>
this
<5127>
[matter].
So
<2532> <3779>
Paul
<3972>
departed
<1831> (5627)
from
<1537>
among
<3319>
them
<846>_.
Howbeit
<1161>
certain
<5100>
men
<435>
clave
<2853> (5685)
unto him
<846>_,
and believed
<4100> (5656)_:
among
<1722>
the which
<3739> <2532>
[was] Dionysius
<1354>
the Areopagite
<698>_,
and
<2532>
a woman
<1135>
named
<3686>
Damaris
<1152>_,
and
<2532>
others
<2087>
with
<4862>
them
<846>_.
<1161>@ After
<3326>
these things
<5023>
Paul
<3972>
departed
<5563> (5685)
from
<1537>
Athens
<116>_,
and came
<2064> (5627)
to
<1519>
Corinth
<2882>_;
And
<2532>
found
<2147> (5631)
a certain
<5100>
Jew
<2453>
named
<3686>
Aquila
<207>_,
born
<1085>
in Pontus
<4193>_,
lately
<4373>
come
<2064> (5756)
from
<575>
Italy
<2482>_,
with
<2532>
his
<846>
wife
<1135>
Priscilla
<4252>_;
(because that
<1223>
Claudius
<2804>
had commanded
<1299> (5760)
all
<3956>
Jews
<2453>
to depart
<5563> (5745)
from
<1537>
Rome
<4516>:)
and came
<4334> (5627)
unto them
<846>_.
And
<2532>
because
<1223>
he was
<1511> (5750)
of the same craft
<3673>_,
he abode
<3306> (5707)
with
<3844>
them
<846>_,
and
<2532>
wrought
<2038> (5711)_:
for
<1063>
by their occupation
<5078>
they were
<2258> (5713)
tentmakers
<4635>_.
And
<1161>
he reasoned
<1256> (5711)
in
<1722>
the synagogue
<4864> <2596>
every
<3956>
sabbath
<4521>_,
and
<5037>
persuaded
<3982> (5707)
the Jews
<2453>
and
<2532>
the Greeks
<1672>_.
And
<1161>
when
<5613> <5037>
Silas
<4609>
and
<2532>
Timotheus
<5095>
were come
<2718> (5627)
from
<575>
Macedonia
<3109>_,
Paul
<3972>
was pressed
<4912> (5712)
in the spirit
<4151>_,
and testified
<1263> (5740)
to the Jews
<2453>
[that] Jesus
<2424>
[was] Christ
<5547>_.
{was Christ: or, is the Christ}
And
<1161>
when they opposed
<498> (5734)
themselves
<846>_,
and
<2532>
blasphemed
<987> (5723)_,
he shook
<1621> (5671)
[his] raiment
<2440>_,
and said
<2036> (5627)
unto
<4314>
them
<846>_,
Your
<5216>
blood
<129>
[be] upon
<1909>
your
<5216>
own heads
<2776>_;
I
<1473>
[am] clean
<2513>_:
from
<575>
henceforth
<3568>
I will go
<4198> (5695)
unto
<1519>
the Gentiles
<1484>_.
And
<2532>
he departed
<3327> (5631)
thence
<1564>_,
and entered
<2064> (5627)
into
<1519>
a certain
<5100>
[man's] house
<3614>_,
named
<3686>
Justus
<2459>_,
[one] that worshipped
<4576> (5740)
God
<2316>_,
whose
<3739>
house
<3614>
joined hard
<4927> (5723) <2258> (5713)
to the synagogue
<4864>_.
And
<1161>
Crispus
<2921>_,
the chief ruler of the synagogue
<752>_,
believed
<4100> (5656)
on the Lord
<2962>
with
<4862>
all
<3650>
his
<846>
house
<3624>_;
and
<2532>
many
<4183>
of the Corinthians
<2881>
hearing
<191> (5723)
believed
<4100> (5707)_,
and
<2532>
were baptized
<907> (5712)_.
Then
<1161>
spake
<2036> (5627)
the Lord
<2962>
to Paul
<3972>
in
<1223>
the night
<3571>
by
<1722>
a vision
<3705>_,
Be
<5399> (0)
not
<3361>
afraid
<5399> (5732) (5737)_,
but
<235>
speak
<2980> (5720)_,
and
<2532>
hold
<4623> (0)
not
<3361>
thy peace
<4623> (5661)_:
For
<1360>
I
<1473>
am
<1510> (5748)
with
<3326>
thee
<4675>_,
and
<2532>
no man
<3762>
shall set on
<2007> (5698)
thee
<4671>
to hurt
<2559> (5658)
thee
<4571>_:
for
<1360>
I
<3427>
have
<2076> (5748)
much
<4183>
people
<2992>
in
<1722>
this
<5026>
city
<4172>_.
And
<5037>
he continued
<2523> (5656)
[there] a year
<1763>
and
<2532>
six
<1803>
months
<3376>_,
teaching
<1321> (5723)
the word
<3056>
of God
<2316>
among
<1722>
them
<846>_.
{continued there: Gr. sat there}
And
<1161>
when Gallio
<1058>
was the deputy
<445> (5723)
of Achaia
<882>_,
the Jews
<2453>
made insurrection
<2721> (5627)
with one accord against
<3661>
Paul
<3972>_,
and
<2532>
brought
<71> (5627)
him
<846>
to
<1909>
the judgment seat
<968>_,
Saying
<3004> (5723)_,

<3754>
This
<3778>
[fellow] persuadeth
<374> (5719)
men
<444>
to worship
<4576> (5738)
God
<2316>
contrary
<3844>
to the law
<3551>_.
And
<1161>
when Paul
<3972>
was now about
<3195> (5723)
to open
<455> (5721)
[his] mouth
<4750>_,
Gallio
<1058>
said
<2036> (5627)
unto
<4314>
the Jews
<2453>_,
If
<1487> <3303> <3767>
it were
<2258> (5713)
a
<5100>
matter of wrong
<92>
or
<2228>
wicked
<4190>
lewdness
<4467>_,
O
<5599>
[ye] Jews
<2453>_,
reason
<2596> <3056>
would
<302>
that I should bear
<430> (5633)
with you
<5216>_:
But
<1161>
if
<1487>
it be
<2076> (5748)
a question
<2213>
of
<4012>
words
<3056>
and
<2532>
names
<3686>_,
and
<2532>
[of]
<2596>
your
<5209>
law
<3551>_,
look ye
<3700> (5695) <846>
[to it]; for
<1063>
I
<1473>
will be
<1014> (5736) <1511> (5750)
no
<3756>
judge
<2923>
of such
<5130>
[matters].
And
<2532>
he drave
<556> (5656)
them
<846>
from
<575>
the judgment seat
<968>_.
Then
<1161>
all
<3956>
the Greeks
<1672>
took
<1949> (5637)
Sosthenes
<4988>_,
the chief ruler of the synagogue
<752>_,
and beat
<5180> (5707)
[him] before
<1715>
the judgment seat
<968>_.
And
<2532>
Gallio
<1058>
cared
<3199> (5707)
for none
<3762>
of those things
<5130>_.
And
<1161>
Paul
<3972>
[after this] tarried
<4357> (5660)
[there] yet
<2089>
a good
<2425>
while
<2250>_,
and then took his leave
<657> (5671)
of the brethren
<80>_,
and sailed thence
<1602> (5707)
into
<1519>
Syria
<4947>_,
and
<2532>
with
<4862>
him
<846>
Priscilla
<4252>
and
<2532>
Aquila
<207>_;
having shorn
<2751> (5671)
[his] head
<2776>
in
<1722>
Cenchrea
<2747>_:
for
<1063>
he had
<2192> (5707)
a vow
<2171>_.
And
<1161>
he came
<2658> (5656)
to
<1519>
Ephesus
<2181>_,
and
<2548>
left
<2641> (5627)
them there
<847>_:
but
<1161>
he himself
<846>
entered
<1525> (5631)
into
<1519>
the synagogue
<4864>_,
and reasoned with
<1256> (5675)
the Jews
<2453>_.
When
<1161>
they
<846>
desired
<2065> (5723)
[him] to tarry
<3306> (5658)
longer
<1909> <4119>
time
<5550>
with
<3844>
them
<846>_,
he consented
<1962> (5656)
not
<3756>_;
But
<235>
bade
<657> (0)
them
<846>
farewell
<657> (5662)_,
saying
<2036> (5631)_,
I
<3165>
must
<1163> (5748)
by all means
<3843>
keep
<4160> (5658)
this feast
<1859>
that cometh
<2064> (5740)
in
<1519>
Jerusalem
<2414>_:
but
<1161>
I will return
<344> (5692)
again
<3825>
unto
<4314>
you
<5209>_,
if God
<2316>
will
<2309> (5723)_.
And
<2532>
he sailed
<321> (5681)
from
<575>
Ephesus
<2181>_.
And
<2532>
when he had landed
<2718> (5631)
at
<1519>
Caesarea
<2542>_,
and gone up
<305> (5631)_,
and
<2532>
saluted
<782> (5666)
the church
<1577>_,
he went down
<2597> (5627)
to
<1519>
Antioch
<490>_.
