Acts 17
1 And having traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came into Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Having passed through then Amphipolis and (*no*) Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where was (the *k*) a synagogue of the Jews.
2 And according to custom to Paul, he came in unto them, and for three Sabbaths he expounded unto them from the scriptures,
According to now the being customary with Paul he went in to them, and for Sabbaths three (he reasoned *N(k)O*) with them from the Scriptures,
3 opening and proving, that it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead, and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is the Christ.
opening and setting forth that the Christ it was being necessary to have suffered and to have risen out from [the] dead and that this is the Christ (*no*) Jesus whom I myself preach to you.
4 And certain ones of them were persuaded, and identified themselves with Paul and Silas, and of the pious Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
And some of them were obedient and they joined themselves to Paul and to Silas, along with worshipping Greeks a multitude great of women then leading not a few.
5 But the Jews giving away to jealousy, and receiving to themselves certain wicked men of those around the forum, and raising a mob, continued to put the city in an uproar; and assaulting the house of Jason, they were seeking to lead them out to the people:
Having become jealous now (the *o*) ([being] disobedient *K*) Jews and having taken to [them] of the market-loungers men certain wicked and having collected a crowd they were setting in uproar the city, (and *N(k)O*) having assailed the house of Jason they were seeking them (to bring out *N(k)O*) to the people;
6 but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither;
Not having found however them they were dragging (*k*) Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities crying out that The [ones] the world having upset these also here are come,
7 whom Jason has received: and all these are doing contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another King, Jesus.
whom has received Jason; And these all contrary to the decrees of Caesar do king another proclaiming to be Jesus.
8 And they excited the rabble and the city rulers hearing these things;
They stirred up then the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things;
9 and having received satisfaction from Jason and the others they sent them away.
And having taken security from Jason and the rest they let go them.
10 But the brethren immediately sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea by night, who coming into the synagogue of the Jews departed;
And the brothers immediately through (*k*) night sent away both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having arrived into the synagogue of the Jews were going.
11 but these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all enthusiasm, searching the scriptures daily, if these things are so.
These now were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all readiness (*ko*) every day examining the Scriptures if would be these things so.
12 Then indeed many of them believed, and of the noble Greek women and men, not a few;
Many indeed therefore of them believed, and of the Grecian women prominent and men not a few.
13 but when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was preached by Paul in Berea, they came thither also, agitating and stirring up the rabbles.
When however knew those from Thessalonica Jews that also in Berea was proclaimed by Paul the word of God, they came there also there also stirring up (and agitating *NO*) the crowds.
14 But immediately at that time the brethren sent away Paul to travel even to the sea: and Silas and Timothy remained there.
Immediately also then Paul sent away the brothers to go (until *N(k)O*) to the sea; (remained but *N(k)O*) both Silas and Timothy there.
15 But having embarked Paul, they led him even to Athens: and receiving commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed from him.
Those now (escorting *N(k)O*) Paul brought (him *k*) unto Athens, and having received a command unto Silas and (*no*) Timothy that as quickly as possible they may come to him they were departing.
16 But Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, seeing the city devoted to idolatry.
In now Athens is waiting for them Paul was provoked the spirit of him in him (seeing *N(k)O*) utterly idolatrous to be the city.
17 Then indeed he spoke to the Jews, and to the worshipers in the synagogue, and to those incidentally meeting him every day in the forum.
He was reasoning indeed therefore in the synagogue with the Jews and with those worshiping and in the marketplace on every day with those meeting [him];
18 And certain ones of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers interviewed him, and some continued to say, What would this babbler wish to say? and others said, He seems to be the propagator of strange divinities: because he was preaching the gospel of Jesus, and the resurrection.
Some then also of the Epicureans and (of the *k*) Stoics philosophers were encountering him; And some were saying; What maybe would intend babbler this to say? Others however; Of foreign gods he seems a proclaimer to be; because Jesus and the resurrection (to them *k*) he was evangelising.
19 And taking him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying; Are we able to know what is this new teaching, spoken by thee?
Having taken hold (also *NK(o)*) of him to the Ares Hill they brought [him] saying; Are we able to know what [is] new this which by you is spoken teaching?
20 For you bring certain strange things to our hearing: therefore we desire to know what these things wish to be.
Strange things for some you are bringing to the ears of us; We resolve therefore to know (what [things] *N(k)O*) (maybe *k*) (intends *N(k)O*) these things to be.
21 But all the Athenians and itinerant strangers were accustomed to devote their time to nothing else, than to tell something new, or to hear something.
[The] Athenians now all and the visiting strangers in no [thing] else were spending their time than to tell something (and *N(k)O*) to hear something new.
22 And Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, Athenian men, I perceive that in all things you are very religious.
Having stood then Paul in [the] midst of the Ares Hill he was saying; Men Athenians, in all things as very religious you I behold;
23 For going through, and seeing your devotions, I also found an altar on which it was superscribed, To THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore I now preach unto you Him whom you are ignorantly worshiping.
Passing through for and beholding the objects of worship of you I found even an altar on which had been inscribed: To an unknown God. (whom *N(k)O*) therefore not knowing you worship, (Him *N(K)O*) I myself proclaim to you.
24 God having made the world and all things which are in it, being himself Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands;
The God who having made the world and all things that [are] in it, He of heaven and earth being Lord not in hand-made temples dwells,
25 neither is he worshiped by human hands, as if needing something, Himself having given life, and breath, and all things to all;
nor by hands (human *N(k)O*) is He served as needing anything, Himself giving to all life and breath (and *N(K)O*) (the *N(k)O*) all;
26 and of (one) man he created every nation of men to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, having determined their predestinated times, and the boundaries of their habitation;
He made then of one (blood *K*) every nation of men to dwell upon (all [the] face *N(k)O*) of the earth, determining (ordered *N(k)O*) times and the boundaries of the habitation of them
27 that they should seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after him, and find him, though not being far from each one of you.
to seek (God, *N(K)O*) if perhaps indeed they would touch Him and would find [Him], And (indeed *N(k)O*) not far from one each of us He is.
28 For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring.
In Him for we live and move and are,’ As also some of the among you poets have said; of [Him] For also offspring we are.’
29 Then being the offspring of God, we ought not to think that divinity is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the invention of art and the device of man.
Offspring therefore being of God not we ought to consider to gold or to silver or to stone, a graven thing of craft and imagination of man, the Divine Being to be like.
30 Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent:
The indeed therefore times of ignorance having overlooked God now (He commands *NK(O)*) to men (all *N(k)O*) everywhere to repent;
31 as He has appointed a day, in which he is about to judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; giving faith to all, having raised Him from the dead.
(just as *N(k)O*) He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He appointed a guarantee having provided to all, having raised Him out from [the] dead.
32 And having heard the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: others said; We will hear thee concerning this even again.
Having heard of now a resurrection of [the] dead some indeed were mocking [him], some however said; We will hear you concerning this (also *no*) again.
33 So Paul went out from their midst.
(and *k*) Thus Paul went out from [the] midst of them.
34 But certain men, having adhered to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman Damarias by name, and others along with them.
Some however men having joined themselves to him believed, among whom also [were] Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
