Acts 17
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews.

2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and on three sabbaths reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

3 Opening and alledging, that it was needful that Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ.

4 And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas: and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

5 But the Jews who believed not, moved with envy, took to them certain vile fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city in an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down, have come hither also;

7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, That there is another king, [one] Jesus.

8 And they troubled the people, and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

9 And when they had taken security of Jason and of the other, they let them go.

10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming [thither], went into the synagogue of the Jews.
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 were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women who were Greeks, and of men not a few.

13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
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 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timothy abode there still.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲣⲉϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⲁⲩⲥⲱϫⲡ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲥⲓⲗⲁⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲧⲓⲙⲟⲑⲉⲟⲥ.
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
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 Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁϥϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲁⲑⲏⲛⲛⲁⲥ ⲉϥⲥⲟⲙⲥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϯⲡⲟⲗⲓⲥ ⲉⲥⲟϣ ⳿ⲙⲙⲉⲧϣⲁⲙϣⲉ ⳿ⲓⲇⲱⲗⲟⲛ.
17 Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter-forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.

19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine [is], of which thou speakest?

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars-hill, and said, [Ye] men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

24 God that made the world, and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he is not far from every one of us:

28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring.

29 Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by [that] man whom he hath ordained: [of which] he hath given assurance to all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.
