Acts 17:1-29

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)_.

17:21

(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>.)

17:22

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}

17:23

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}

17:24

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>_;

17:25

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>_;

17:26

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>_;

17:27

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>_:

17:28

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>_.

17:29

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>_.
