Acts 17:16-34

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>_.

17:30

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)_:

17:31

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}

17:32

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].

17:33

So
<2532> <3779>

Paul
<3972>

departed
<1831> (5627)

from
<1537>

among
<3319>

them
<846>_.

17:34

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>_.
