< Acts 17 >

1 Having passed through then Amphipolis and (*no*) Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where was (the *k*) a synagogue of the Jews.

2 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,

4 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 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 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,

8 They stirred up then the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things;

10 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.
ⲓ̅ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲱⲣϩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲉⲣⲟⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲙⲁⲩ ⲁⲩϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ.
11 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 indeed therefore of them believed, and of the Grecian women prominent and men not a few.

13 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.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲑⲉⲥⲥⲁⲗⲟⲛⲓⲕⲏϫⲉ ⳿ⲁ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲕⲉⲃⲉⲣⲟⲓ⳿ⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲫϯ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲉⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲩⲕⲓⲙ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲏϣ ⲉⲩ⳿ϣⲑⲟⲣⲧⲉⲣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
14 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.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲥⲱϫⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ.
15 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.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲏⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲫⲟ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩⲉⲛϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩϭⲓ ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⳿ⲉϭⲓ⳿ⲡϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲭⲱⲗⲉⲙ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
16 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 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 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 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?

21 [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 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 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 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 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 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

29 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 indeed therefore times of ignorance having overlooked God now (He commands *NK(O)*) to men (all *N(k)O*) everywhere to repent;

31 (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 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.
