Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1And when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
1διοδευσαντεσ δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εισ θεσσαλονικην οπου ην η συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
2And Paul, according to his custom, went in unto them; and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures:
2κατα δε το ειωθοσ τω παυλω εισηλθεν προσ αυτουσ και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοισ απο των γραφων
3Declaring and insinuating that the Christ was to suffer, and to rise again from the dead; and that this is Jesus Christ, whom I preach to you.
3διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενοσ οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ ιησουσ ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
4And some of them believed, and were associated to Paul and Silas; and of those that served God, and of the Gentiles a great multitude, and of noble women not a few.
4και τινεσ εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και τω σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
5But the Jews, moved with envy, and taking unto them some wicked men of the vulgar sort, and making a tumult, set the city in an uproar; and besetting Jason’s house, sought to bring them out unto the people.
5προσλαβομενοι δε οι ιουδαιοι οι απειθουντεσ των αγοραιων τινασ ανδρασ πονηρουσ και οχλοποιησαντεσ εθορυβουν την πολιν επισταντεσ τε τη οικια ιασονοσ εζητουν αυτουσ αγαγειν εισ τον δημον
6And not finding them, they drew Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, crying: They that set the city in an uproar, are come hither also;
6μη ευροντεσ δε αυτουσ εσυρον τον ιασονα και τινασ αδελφουσ επι τουσ πολιταρχασ βοωντεσ οτι οι την οικουμενην αναστατωσαντεσ ουτοι και ενθαδε παρεισιν
7Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.
7ουσ υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντεσ απεναντι των δογματων καισαροσ πρασσουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντεσ ετερον ειναι ιησουν
8And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things,
8εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τουσ πολιταρχασ ακουοντασ ταυτα
9And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go.
9και λαβοντεσ το ικανον παρα του ιασονοσ και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτουσ
10But the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea. Who, when they were come thither, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
10οι δε αδελφοι ευθεωσ δια τησ νυκτοσ εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εισ βεροιαν οιτινεσ παραγενομενοι εισ την συναγωγην απηεσαν των ιουδαιων
11Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so.
11ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινεσ εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασησ προθυμιασ το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντεσ τασ γραφασ ει εχοι ταυτα ουτωσ
12And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.
12πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
13And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.
13ωσ δε εγνωσαν οι απο τησ θεσσαλονικησ ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη βεροια κατηγγελη υπο του παυλου ο λογοσ του θεου ηλθον κακει σαλευοντεσ τουσ οχλουσ
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.
14ευθεωσ δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι ωσ επι την θαλασσαν υπεμενον δε ο τε σιλασ και ο τιμοθεοσ εκει
15And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.
15οι δε καθιστωντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον αυτον εωσ αθηνων και λαβοντεσ εντολην προσ τον σιλαν και τιμοθεον ινα ωσ ταχιστα ελθωσιν προσ αυτον εξηεσαν
16Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.
16εν δε ταισ αθηναισ εκδεχομενου αυτουσ του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντι κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
17He disputed, therefore, in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them that served God, and in the marketplace, every day with them that were there.
17διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοισ ιουδαιοισ και τοισ σεβομενοισ και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προσ τουσ παρατυγχανοντασ
18And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him; and some said: What is it, that this word sower would say? But others: He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
18τινεσ δε και των επικουρειων και των στοικων φιλοσοφων συνεβαλλον αυτω και τινεσ ελεγον τι αν θελοι ο σπερμολογοσ ουτοσ λεγειν οι δε ξενων δαιμονιων δοκει καταγγελευσ ειναι οτι τον ιησουν και την αναστασιν ευηγγελιζετο
19And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of?
19επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντεσ δυναμεθα γνωναι τισ η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
20For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.
20ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεισ εισ τασ ακοασ ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τι αν θελοι ταυτα ειναι
21(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.)
21αθηναιοι δε παντεσ και οι επιδημουντεσ ξενοι εισ ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
22But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious.
22σταθεισ δε ο παυλοσ εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρεσ αθηναιοι κατα παντα ωσ δεισιδαιμονεστερουσ υμασ θεωρω
23For passing by, and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the unknown God. What therefore you worship, without knowing it, that I preach to you:
23διερχομενοσ γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ον ουν αγνοουντεσ ευσεβειτε τουτον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
24God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
24ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτοσ ουρανου και γησ κυριοσ υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει
25Neither is he served with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing; seeing it is he who giveth to all life, and breath, and all things:
25ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενοσ τινοσ αυτοσ διδουσ πασιν ζωην και πνοην κατα παντα
26And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation.
26εποιησεν τε εξ ενοσ αιματοσ παν εθνοσ ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παν το προσωπον τησ γησ ορισασ προστεταγμενουσ καιρουσ και τασ οροθεσιασ τησ κατοικιασ αυτων
27That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us:
27ζητειν τον κυριον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν και γε ου μακραν απο ενοσ εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
28For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.
28εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ωσ και τινεσ των καθ υμασ ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενοσ εσμεν
29Being therefore the offspring of God, we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold, or silver, or stone, the graving of art, and device of man.
29γενοσ ουν υπαρχοντεσ του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνησ και ενθυμησεωσ ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
30And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance.
30τουσ μεν ουν χρονουσ τησ αγνοιασ υπεριδων ο θεοσ τα νυν παραγγελλει τοισ ανθρωποισ πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
31Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity, by the man whom he hath appointed; giving faith to all, by raising him up from the dead.
31διοτι εστησεν ημεραν εν η μελλει κρινειν την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη εν ανδρι ω ωρισεν πιστιν παρασχων πασιν αναστησασ αυτον εκ νεκρων
32And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter.
32ακουσαντεσ δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
33So Paul went out from among them.
33και ουτωσ ο παυλοσ εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
34But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
34τινεσ δε ανδρεσ κολληθεντεσ αυτω επιστευσαν εν οισ και διονυσιοσ ο αρεοπαγιτησ και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρισ και ετεροι συν αυτοισ
