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

¹[] Διοδευσαντες δε την Αμφιπολιν και Απολλωνιαν, ηλθαν εις Θεσσαλονικην, οπου ητο η συναγωγη των Ιουδαιων.

²And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

²Και κατα την συνηθειαν του ο Παυλος εισηλθε προς αυτους, και τρια σαββατα διελεγετο μετ' αυτων απο των γραφων,

³Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

³εξηγων και αποδεικνυων οτι επρεπε να παθη ο Χριστος και να αναστηθη εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος Ιησους, τον οποιον εγω σας κηρυττω.

⁴And 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.

⁴Και τινες εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και ηνωθησαν μετα του Παυλου και του Σιλα, και εκ των θεοσεβων Ελληνων πολυ πληθος και εκ των πρωτων γυναικων ουκ ολιγαι.

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

⁵Φθονησαντες δε οι μη πειθομενοι Ιουδαιοι και λαβοντες μεθ' εαυτων κακους τινας ανθρωπους εκ των χυδαιων και οχλαγωγησαντες, εθορυβουν την πολιν και εφορμησαντες εις την οικιαν του Ιασονος, εζητουν αυτους δια να φερωσιν εις τον δημον·

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

⁶μη ευροντες δε αυτους, εσυραν τον Ιασονα και τινας αδελφους επι τους πολιταρχας, βοωντες οτι οι αναστατωσαντες την οικουμενην, ουτοι ηλθον και εδω,

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

⁷τους οποιους υπεδεχθη ο Ιασων· και παντες ουτοι πραττουσιν εναντιον των προσταγματων του Καισαρος, λεγοντες οτι ειναι βασιλευς αλλος, ο Ιησους.

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

⁸Εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τους πολιταρχας ακουοντας ταυτα,

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

⁹και λαβοντες εγγυησιν παρα του Ιασονος και των λοιπων, απελυσαν αυτους.

¹⁰And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

¹⁰[] Οι δε αδελφοι ευθυς δια της νυκτος εξεπεμψαν τον τε Παυλον και τον Σιλαν εις Βεροιαν, οιτινες ελθοντες υπηγον εις την συναγωγην των Ιουδαιων.

¹¹These 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.

¹¹Ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι παρα τους εν Θεσσαλονικη, καθοτι εδεχθησαν τον λογον μετα πασης προθυμιας, εξεταζοντες καθ' ημεραν τας γραφας αν ουτως εχωσι ταυτα.

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

¹²Πολλοι μεν λοιπον εξ αυτων επιστευσαν, και εκ των επισημων Ελληνιδων γυναικων και εκ των ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι.

¹³But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.

¹³Ως δε εμα0ον οι απο της Θεσσαλονικης Ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη Βεροια εκηρυχθη υπο του Παυλου ο λογος του Θεου, ηλθον και εκει και εταραττον τους οχλους.

¹⁴And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

¹⁴Και ευθυς τοτε οι αδελφοι εξαπεστειλαν τον Παυλον να υπαγη εως εις την θαλασσαν· ο Σιλας δε και ο Τιμοθεος εμειναν εκει.

¹⁵And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁵Οι δε συνοδευοντες τον Παυλον εφεραν αυτον εως Αθηνων, και αφου ελαβον παραγγελιαν προς τον Σιλαν και Τιμοθεον να ελθωσι προς αυτον οσον ταχιστα, ανεχωρησαν.

¹⁶Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

¹⁶[] Ενω δε περιεμενεν αυτους ο Παυλος εν ταις Αθηναις, το πνευμα αυτου παρωξυνετο εν αυτω, επειδη εβλεπε την πολιν γεμουσαν ειδωλων.

¹⁷Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.

¹⁷Διελεγετο λοιπον εν τη συναγωγη μετα των Ιουδαιων και μετα των θεοσεβων και εν τη αγορα καθ' εκαστην ημεραν μετα των τυχοντων.

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

¹⁸Τινες δε των Επικουριων και των Στωικων φιλοσοφων συνηρχοντο εις λογους μετ' αυτου, και οι μεν ελεγον· Τι θελει ταχα ο σπερμολογος ουτος να ειπη; οι δε· Ξενων θεων κηρυξ φαινεται οτι ειναι· διοτι εκηρυττε προς αυτους τον Ιησουν και την αναστασιν.

¹⁹And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

¹⁹Και πιασαντες αυτον εφεραν εις τον Αρειον Παγον, λεγοντες· Δυναμεθα να μαθωμεν τις αυτη η νεα διδαχη, ητις κηρυττεται υπο σου;

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.

²⁰διοτι φερεις εις τας ακοας ημων παραδοξα τινα· θελομεν λοιπον να μαθωμεν τι σημαινουσι ταυτα.

²¹(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)

²¹Παντες δε οι Αθηναιοι και οι επιδημουντες ξενοι εις ουδεν αλλο ηυκαιρουν παρα εις το να λεγωσι και να ακουωσι τι νεωτερον.

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

²²[] Σταθεις δε ο Παυλος εν μεσω του Αρειου Παγου, ειπεν· Ανδρες Αθηναιοι, κατα παντα σας βλεπω εις ακρον θεολατρας.

²³For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.

²³Διοτι ενω διηρχομην και ανεθεωρουν τα σεβασματα σας, ευρον και βωμον, εις τον οποιον ειναι επιγεγραμμενον, Αγνωστω Θεω. Εκεινον λοιπον, τον οποιον αγνοουντες λατρευετε, τουτον εγω κηρυττω προς εσας.

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

²⁴Ο Θεος, οστις εκαμε τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω, ουτος Κυριος ων του ουρανου και της γης, δεν κατοικει εν χειροποιητοις ναοις,

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

²⁵ουδε λατρευεται υπο χειρων ανθρωπων ως εχων χρειαν τινος, επειδη αυτος διδει εις παντας ζωην και πνοην και τα παντα·

²⁶And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

²⁶και εκαμεν εξ ενος αιματος παν εθνος ανθρωπων, δια να κατοικωσιν εφ' ολου του προσωπου της γης, και διωρισε τους προδιατεταγμενους καιρους και τα οροθεσια της κατοικιας αυτων,

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

²⁷δια να ζητωσι τον Κυριον, ισως δυνηθωσι να ψηλαφησωσιν αυτον και να ευρωσιν, αν και δεν ειναι μακραν απο ενος εκαστου ημων.

²⁸For 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.

²⁸Διοτι εν αυτω ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και υπαρχομεν, καθως και τινες των ποιητων σας ειπον· Διοτι και γενος ειμεθα τουτου.

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

²⁹Γενος λοιπον οντες του Θεου, δεν πρεπει να νομιζωμεν τον Θεον οτι ειναι ομοιος με χρυσον η αργυρον η λιθον, κεχαραγμενα δια τεχνης και επινοιας ανθρωπου.

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

³⁰Τους καιρους λοιπον της αγνοιας παραβλεψας ο Θεος, τωρα παραγγελλει εις παντας τους ανθρωπους πανταχου να μετανοωσι,

³¹Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

³¹διοτι προσδιωρισεν ημεραν εν η μελλει να κρινη την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη, δια ανδρος τον οποιον διωρισε, και εδωκεν εις παντας βεβαιωσιν περι τουτου, αναστησας αυτον εκ νεκρων.

³²And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

³²[] Ακουσαντες δε αναστασιν νεκρων, οι μεν εχλευαζον, οι δε ειπον· Περι τουτου θελομεν σε ακουσει παλιν.

³³So Paul departed from among them.

³³Και ουτως ο Παυλος εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων.

³⁴Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

³⁴Τινες δε ανδρες προσεκολληθησαν εις αυτον και επιστευσαν, μεταξυ των οποιων ητο και Διονυσιος ο Αρεοπαγιτης και γυνη τις ονοματι Δαμαρις και αλλοι μετ' αυτων.
