Acts 17:1-20

17:1

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>_:

17:2

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>_,

17:3

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}

17:4

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>_.

17:5

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>_.

17:6

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>_;

17:7

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>_.

17:8

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>_.

17:9

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)_.

17:10

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>_.

17:11

<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>_.

17:12

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>_.

17:13

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>_.

17:14

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)_.

17:15

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)_.

17:16

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}

17:17

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)_.

17:18

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}

17:19

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}

17:20

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)_.
