Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
Having passed through then Amphipolis and (*no*) Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where was (the *k*) a synagogue of the Jews.
2 Paul, as was his custom, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with 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 explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to 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 Some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the prominent women.
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, being moved with jealousy, took along some wicked men from the marketplace, and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring 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 When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
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. These all act 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 The crowd and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.
They stirred up then the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things;
9 When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
And having taken security from Jason and the rest they let go them.
10 The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
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 Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of the mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were 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 Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.
Many indeed therefore of them believed, and of the Grecian women prominent and men not a few.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, inciting and disturbing the crowds.
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 Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed 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 those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.
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 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
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 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.
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 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached 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 They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?
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 ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."
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 Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
[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 Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.
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 as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.
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 The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being 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 served by human hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.
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 He made from one blood every nation of mankind to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,
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 they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
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 some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also 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 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by human art and design.
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 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should 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 because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to everyone by raising 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 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."
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 Thus Paul went out from among them.
(and *k*) Thus Paul went out from [the] midst of them.
34 But some people joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others 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.
