Berean Standard Bible
1διοδευσαντεσ δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εισ θεσσαλονικην οπου ην η συναγωγη των ιουδαιων
1When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.
2κατα δε το ειωθοσ τω παυλω εισηλθεν προσ αυτουσ και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοισ απο των γραφων
2As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
3διανοιγων και παρατιθεμενοσ οτι τον χριστον εδει παθειν και αναστηναι εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ ιησουσ ον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
3explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ,” he declared.
4και τινεσ εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και τω σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
4Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few leading women.
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
5The Jews, however, became jealous. So they brought in some troublemakers from the marketplace, formed a mob, and sent the city into an uproar. They raided Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas, hoping to bring them out to the people.
6μη ευροντεσ δε αυτουσ εσυρον τον ιασονα και τινασ αδελφουσ επι τουσ πολιταρχασ βοωντεσ οτι οι την οικουμενην αναστατωσαντεσ ουτοι και ενθαδε παρεισιν
6But when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some other brothers before the city officials, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have now come here,
7ουσ υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντεσ απεναντι των δογματων καισαροσ πρασσουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντεσ ετερον ειναι ιησουν
7and Jason has welcomed them into his home. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, named Jesus!”
8εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τουσ πολιταρχασ ακουοντασ ταυτα
8On hearing this, the crowd and city officials were greatly disturbed.
9και λαβοντεσ το ικανον παρα του ιασονοσ και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτουσ
9And they collected bond from Jason and the others, and then released them.
10οι δε αδελφοι ευθεωσ δια τησ νυκτοσ εξεπεμψαν τον τε παυλον και τον σιλαν εισ βεροιαν οιτινεσ παραγενομενοι εισ την συναγωγην απηεσαν των ιουδαιων
10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue.
11ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινεσ εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασησ προθυμιασ το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντεσ τασ γραφασ ει εχοι ταυτα ουτωσ
11Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
12πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι
12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.
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
13But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God in Berea, they went there themselves to incite and agitate the crowds.
14ευθεωσ δε τοτε τον παυλον εξαπεστειλαν οι αδελφοι πορευεσθαι ωσ επι την θαλασσαν υπεμενον δε ο τε σιλασ και ο τιμοθεοσ εκει
14The brothers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy remained in Berea.
15οι δε καθιστωντεσ τον παυλον ηγαγον αυτον εωσ αθηνων και λαβοντεσ εντολην προσ τον σιλαν και τιμοθεον ινα ωσ ταχιστα ελθωσιν προσ αυτον εξηεσαν
15Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.
16εν δε ταισ αθηναισ εκδεχομενου αυτουσ του παυλου παρωξυνετο το πνευμα αυτου εν αυτω θεωρουντι κατειδωλον ουσαν την πολιν
16While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.
17διελεγετο μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοισ ιουδαιοισ και τοισ σεβομενοισ και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προσ τουσ παρατυγχανοντασ
17So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace with those he met each day.
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
18Some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was proclaiming the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
19επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντεσ δυναμεθα γνωναι τισ η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
19So they took Paul and brought him to the Areopagus, where they asked him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20ξενιζοντα γαρ τινα εισφερεισ εισ τασ ακοασ ημων βουλομεθα ουν γνωναι τι αν θελοι ταυτα ειναι
20For you are bringing some strange notions to our ears, and we want to know what they mean.”
21αθηναιοι δε παντεσ και οι επιδημουντεσ ξενοι εισ ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
21Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.
22σταθεισ δε ο παυλοσ εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρεσ αθηναιοι κατα παντα ωσ δεισιδαιμονεστερουσ υμασ θεωρω
22Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.
23διερχομενοσ γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ον ουν αγνοουντεσ ευσεβειτε τουτον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
23For as I walked around and examined your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore what you worship as something unknown, I now proclaim to you.
24ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτοσ ουρανου και γησ κυριοσ υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει
24The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands.
25ουδε υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενοσ τινοσ αυτοσ διδουσ πασιν ζωην και πνοην κατα παντα
25Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.
26εποιησεν τε εξ ενοσ αιματοσ παν εθνοσ ανθρωπων κατοικειν επι παν το προσωπον τησ γησ ορισασ προστεταγμενουσ καιρουσ και τασ οροθεσιασ τησ κατοικιασ αυτων
26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
27ζητειν τον κυριον ει αρα γε ψηλαφησειαν αυτον και ευροιεν και γε ου μακραν απο ενοσ εκαστου ημων υπαρχοντα
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
28εν αυτω γαρ ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και εσμεν ωσ και τινεσ των καθ υμασ ποιητων ειρηκασιν του γαρ και γενοσ εσμεν
28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
29γενοσ ουν υπαρχοντεσ του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνησ και ενθυμησεωσ ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
30τουσ μεν ουν χρονουσ τησ αγνοιασ υπεριδων ο θεοσ τα νυν παραγγελλει τοισ ανθρωποισ πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
30Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent.
31διοτι εστησεν ημεραν εν η μελλει κρινειν την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη εν ανδρι ω ωρισεν πιστιν παρασχων πασιν αναστησασ αυτον εκ νεκρων
31For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
32ακουσαντεσ δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
32When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”
33και ουτωσ ο παυλοσ εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων
33At that, Paul left the Areopagus.
34τινεσ δε ανδρεσ κολληθεντεσ αυτω επιστευσαν εν οισ και διονυσιοσ ο αρεοπαγιτησ και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρισ και ετεροι συν αυτοισ
34But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
