17:1	And whanne thei hadden passid bi Amfipolis and Appollonye, thei camen to Thessolonyk, where was a synagoge of Jewis.
17:2	And bi custom Poul entride to hem, and bi thre sabatis he declaride to hem of scripturis,
17:3	and openyde, and schewide that it bihofte Crist to suffre, and rise ayen fro deth, and that this is Jhesus Crist, whom Y telle to you.
17:4	And summe of hem bileueden, and weren ioyned to Poul and to Silas; and a greet multitude of hethene men worschipide God, and noble wymmen not a fewe.
17:5	But the Jewis hadden enuye, and token of the comyn puple summe yuele men, and whanne thei hadden maad a cumpenye, thei moueden the citee. And thei camen to Jasouns hous, and souyten hem to brynge forth among the puple.
17:6	And whanne thei founden hem not, thei drowen Jasoun and summe britheren to the princis of the citee, and crieden, That these it ben, that mouen the world, and hidir thei camen,
17:7	whiche Jason resseyuede. And these alle don ayens the maundementis of the emperour, and seien, that Jhesu is anothir king.
17:8	And thei moueden the puple, and the princis of the citee, herynge these thingis.
17:9	And whanne satisfaccioun was takun of Jason, and of othere, thei leten Poul and Silas go.
17:10	And anoon bi niyt britheren leten Silas go in to Beroan. And whanne thei camen thidur, thei entriden in to the synagoge of the Jewis.
17:11	But these weren the worthier of hem that ben at Thessolonik, whiche resseyueden the word with al desire, eche dai sekinge scripturis, if these thingis hadden hem so.
17:12	And manye of hem bileueden and of hethen wymmen onest and men not a fewe.
17:13	But whanne the Jewis in Tessalonyk hadden knowe, that also at Bero the word of God was prechid of Poul, thei camen thidir, mouynge and disturblynge the multitude.
17:14	And tho anoon britheren delyuerden Poul, that he schulde go to the see; but Sylas and Tymothe dwelten there.
17:15	And thei that ledden forth Poul, ledden hym to Atenes. And whanne thei hadden take maundement of him to Silas and to Tymothe, that ful hiyyngli thei schulden come to hym, thei wenten forth.
17:16	And while Poul abood hem at Atenys, his spirit was moued in him, for he saiy the citee youun to ydolatrie.
17:17	Therfor he disputide in the synagoge with the Jewis, and with men that worschipiden God, and in the dom place, by alle daies to hem that herden.
17:18	And summe Epeicureis, and Stoisens, and filosofris disputiden with hym. And summe seiden, What wole this sowere of wordis seie? And othere seiden, He semeth to be a tellere of newe fendis; for he telde to hem Jhesu, and the ayenrisyng.
17:19	And thei token, and ledden hym to Ariopage, and seide, Moun we wite, what is this newe doctryne, that is seid of thee?
17:20	For thou bringist ynne summe newe thingis to oure eeris; therfor we wolen wite, what these thingis wolen be.
17:21	For alle men of Athenys and comlingis herborid yauen tent to noon other thing, but ether to seie, ethir to here, sum newe thing.
17:22	And Poul stood in the myddil of Ariopage, and seide, Men of Athenys, bi alle thingis Y se you as veyn worschipers.
17:23	For Y passide, and siy youre maumetis, and foond an auter, in which was writun, To the vnknowun God. Therfor which thing ye vnknowynge worschipen, this thing Y schew to you.
17:24	God that made the world and alle thingis that ben in it, this, for he is Lord of heuene and of erthe, dwellith not in templis maad with hoond,
17:25	nethir is worschipid bi mannus hoondis, nether hath nede of ony thing, for he yyueth lijf to alle men, and brethinge, and alle thingis;
17:26	and made of oon al the kinde of men to enhabite on al the face of the erthe, determynynge tymes ordeyned, and termes of the dwellynge of hem,
17:27	to seke God, if perauenture thei felen hym, ether fynden, thouy he be not fer fro eche of you.
17:28	For in hym we lyuen, and mouen, and ben. As also summe of youre poetis seiden, And we ben also the kynde of hym.
17:29	Therfor sithen we ben the kynde of God, we schulen not deme, that godli thing is lijk gold, and siluer, ethir stoon, ethir to grauyng of craft and thouyt of man.
17:30	For God dispisith the tymes of this vnkunnyng, and now schewith to men, that alle euery where doon penaunce; for that he hath ordeyned a dai,
17:31	in which he schal deme the world in equite, in a man in which he ordeynede, and yaf feith to alle men, and reiside hym fro deth.
17:32	And whanne thei hadden herd the ayenrysing of deed men, summe scorneden, and summe seiden, We schulen here thee eft of this thing.
17:33	So Poul wente out of the myddil of hem.
17:34	But summen drowen to hym, and bileueden. Among whiche Dynyse Aropagite was, and a womman, bi name Damaris, and othere men with hem.


17:1	Nowe as they passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a Synagogue of the Iewes.
17:2	And Paul, as his maner was, went in vnto them, and three Sabbath daies disputed with them by the Scriptures,
17:3	Opening, and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered, and risen againe from the dead: and this is Iesus Christ, whom, said he, I preach to you.
17:4	And some of them beleeued, and ioyned in companie with Paul and Silas: also of the Grecians that feared God a great multitude, and of the chiefe women not a fewe.
17:5	But the Iewes which beleeued not, mooued with enuie, tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes, and whe they had assembled the multitude, they made a tumult in the citie, and made assault against the house of Iason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
17:6	But when they found them not, they drew Iason and certaine brethren vnto the heads of the citie, crying, These are they which haue subuerted the state of the world, and here they are,
17:7	Whom Iason hath receiued, and these all doe against the decrees of Cesar, saying that there is another King, one Iesus.
17:8	Then they troubled the people, and the heads of the citie, when they heard these things.
17:9	Notwithstanding when they had receiued sufficient assurance of Iason and of the other, they let them goe.
17:10	And the brethren immediatly sent away Paul and Silas by night vnto Berea, which when they were come thither, entred into ye Synagogue of the Iewes.
17:11	These were also more noble men then they which were at Thessalonica, which receiued the woorde with all readinesse, and searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
17:12	Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe.
17:13	But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people.
17:14	But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
17:15	And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed.
17:16	Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie.
17:17	Therefore he disputed in the Synagogue with the Iewes, and with them that were religious, and in the market daily with whomesoeuer he met.
17:18	Then certaine Philosophers of the Epicures, and of the Stoickes, disputed with him, and some sayde, What will this babler say? Others sayde, He seemeth to be a setter forth of straunge gods (because hee preached vnto them Iesus, and the resurrection.)
17:19	And they tooke him, and brought him into Mars streete, saying, May we not know, what this newe doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
17:20	For thou bringest certaine strange thinges vnto our eares: we woulde knowe therefore, what these things meane.
17:21	For all the Athenians, and strangers which dwelt there, gaue them selues to nothing els, but either to tell, or to heare some newes.
17:22	Then Paul stoode in the mids of Mars streete, and sayde, Yee men of Athens, I perceiue that in all things yee are too superstitious.
17:23	For as I passed by, and behelde your deuotions, I founde an altar wherein was written, VNTO THE VNKNOWEN GOD. Whom ye then ignorantly worship, him shewe I vnto you.
17:24	God that made the world, and all things that are therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaue and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands,
17:25	Neither is worshipped with mens handes, as though he needed any thing, seeing hee giueth to all life and breath and all things,
17:26	And hath made of one blood all mankinde, to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath assigned the seasons which were ordeined before, and the boundes of their habitation,
17:27	That they shoulde seeke the Lord, if so be they might haue groped after him, and founde him though doubtlesse he be not farre from euery one of vs.
17:28	For in him we liue, and mooue, and haue our being, as also certaine of your owne Poets haue sayd, for we are also his generation.
17:29	Forasmuch then, as we are the generation of God, we ought not to thinke that ye Godhead is like vnto gold, or siluer, or stone grauen by arte and the inuention of man.
17:30	And the time of this ignorance God regarded not: but nowe hee admonisheth all men euery where to repent,
17:31	Because hee hath appoynted a day in the which he wil iudge the world in righteousnes, by that man whome hee hath appoynted, whereof he hath giuen an assurance to all men, in that hee hath raised him from the dead.
17:32	Now when they heard of the resurrection from the dead, some mocked, and other sayde, We will heare thee againe of this thing.
17:33	And so Paul departed from among them.
17:34	Howbeit certaine men claue vnto Paul, and beleeued: among whome was also Denys Areopagita, and a woman named Damaris, and other with them.


17:1	Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
17:2	Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
17:3	explaining and demonstrating that Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is Christ."
17:4	And some of them believed; and a large multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and Silas.
17:5	But the Jews who did not believe, becoming envious, took some of the wicked men of a vulgar sort, and gathering a mob, set the entire city in an uproar and attacked the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
17:6	But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, shouting, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,
17:7	Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, one Jesus."
17:8	And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city when they heard these things.
17:9	So when they had taken enough security from Jason and from the rest, they let them go.
17:10	Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.
17:11	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 these things were so.
17:12	Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men.
17:13	But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the people.
17:14	And then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go as it were to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.
17:15	So those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
17:16	Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him when he saw that the city was entirely given over to idolatry.
17:17	Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews and with the devout people, and in the marketplace daily with those who met with him.
17:18	Then some of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, "What does this babbler say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
17:19	And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak?
17:20	Because, you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean."
17:21	Because, all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else except to tell or to hear something new.
17:22	Then Paul stood in the midst of the Mars' Hill and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious;
17:23	because, as I was passing by and considering the objects of your worship, I found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you ignorantly worship, Him I proclaim to you:
17:24	"God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.
17:25	Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.
17:26	And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings,
17:27	so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might seek for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
17:28	because in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'because we are also His offspring.'
17:29	Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.
17:30	And, these times of such ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent,
17:31	because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all people by raising Him from the dead."
17:32	And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."
17:33	So Paul departed from among them.
17:34	However, some men joined him and believed, among them was Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
