Jay P. Green's Literal Translation 1993

 

   

17:1And traveling through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
17:2And according to Paul's custom, he went in to them and reasoned with them from the Scriptures on three sabbaths,
17:3opening and setting forth that the Christ must have suffered, and to have risen from the dead, and that this is the Christ, Jesus, whom I announce to you.
17:4And some of them were persuaded and joined themselves to Paul and Silas, both a great multitude of the worshiping Greeks, and not a few of the leading women.
17:5But becoming jealous, and having taken aside some wicked men of the market loafers, and gathering a crowd, the disobeying Jews set the city into turmoil. And coming on the house of Jason, they sought to bring them on to the mob.
17:6But not finding them, they dragged Jason and some brothers before the city judges, crying, Those turning the habitable world upside down have come here, too;
17:7whom Jason has received. And these all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king, Jesus.
17:8And hearing these things, they troubled the crowd and the city judges.
17:9And taking security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
17:10But the brothers at once sent both Paul and Silas to Berea during the night; who having arrived went into the synagogue of the Jews.
17:11And these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the Word with all readiness, daily examining the Scriptures if these things are so .
17:12Then indeed many from among them believed, and not a few of the honorable Greek women and men.
17:13But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the Word of God was also announced in Berea by Paul, they came there also, shaking up the crowd.
17:14And immediately, then, the brothers sent away Paul, to go as toward the sea. But both Silas and Timothy remained there.
17:15But those conducting Paul brought him as far as Athens. And receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they come to him quickly, they departed.
17:16But awaiting them in Athens, Paul's spirit was pained within him, seeing the city full of images.
17:17Then, indeed, he addressed the Jews in the synagogue, and those worshiping, also in the market every day, to those happening to be there .
17:18And some of the Epicureans and of the Stoics, philosophers, fell in with him. And some said, What may this chatterer wish to say? And these others , He seems to be an announcer of foreign demons (because he announced Jesus and the resurrection to them).
17:19And taking hold of him, they led him to the Areopagus, saying, Are we able to know what is this new doctrine being spoken by you?
17:20For you bring startling things to our ears. We are minded, then, to know what these things wish to be.
17:21And all Athenians and the strangers living there have leisure for nothing else than to say and to hear newer things.
17:22And standing in the middle of the Areopagus, Paul said, Men, Athenians, I see how you in everything are fearful of gods;
17:23for passing through and looking up at the objects of your worship, I also found an altar on which had been written, TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Not knowing, then, whom you worship, I make Him known to you.
17:24The God who made the world and all things in it, this One being Lord of Heaven and of earth, does not dwell in handmade temples,
17:25nor is served by hands of men, as having need of anything. For He is giving life and breath and all things to all.
17:26And He made every nation of men of one blood, to live on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling,
17:27to seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him and might find Him, though indeed He not being far from each one of us.
17:28For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of the poets among you have said, For we are also His offspring.
17:29Then being offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, engraved by art and the imagination of man.
17:30Truly, then, God overlooking the times of ignorance, now strictly commands all men everywhere to repent,
17:31because He set a day in which "He is going to judge the habitable world in righteousness," by a Man whom He appointed; having given proof to all by raising Him from the dead. Psa. 9:8
17:32And hearing of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed ridiculed, but said, We will hear you again concerning this.
17:33And so Paul went out from their midst.
17:34But some men believed, joining themselves to him, among whom also were both Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
