Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
1διοδευσαντεσ δε την αμφιπολιν και απολλωνιαν ηλθον εισ θεσσαλονικην οπου ην 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,
2κατα δε το ειωθοσ τω παυλω εισηλθεν προσ αυτουσ και επι σαββατα τρια διελεξατο αυτοισ 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.
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 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 προσεκληρωθησαν τω παυλω και τω σιλα των τε σεβομενων ελληνων πολυ πληθοσ γυναικων τε των πρωτων ουκ ολιγαι
5¶ But 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.
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 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 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 Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
7ουσ υποδεδεκται ιασων και ουτοι παντεσ απεναντι των δογματων καισαροσ πρασσουσιν βασιλεα λεγοντεσ ετερον ειναι ιησουν
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 το ικανον παρα του ιασονοσ και των λοιπων απελυσαν αυτουσ
10¶ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming 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
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 των εν θεσσαλονικη οιτινεσ εδεξαντο τον λογον μετα πασησ προθυμιασ το καθ ημεραν ανακρινοντεσ τασ γραφασ ει εχοι ταυτα ουτωσ
12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
12πολλοι μεν ουν εξ αυτων επιστευσαν και των ελληνιδων γυναικων των ευσχημονων και 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 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 as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
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 unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to 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
16¶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw 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
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 μεν ουν εν τη συναγωγη τοισ ιουδαιοισ και τοισ σεβομενοισ και εν τη αγορα κατα πασαν ημεραν προσ τουσ παρατυγχανοντασ
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 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 they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is ?
19επιλαβομενοι τε αυτου επι τον αρειον παγον ηγαγον λεγοντεσ δυναμεθα γνωναι τισ η καινη αυτη η υπο σου λαλουμενη διδαχη
20For thou bringest certain strange 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(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.)
21αθηναιοι δε παντεσ και οι επιδημουντεσ ξενοι εισ ουδεν ετερον ευκαιρουν η λεγειν τι και ακουειν καινοτερον
22¶ Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
22σταθεισ δε ο παυλοσ εν μεσω του αρειου παγου εφη ανδρεσ αθηναιοι κατα παντα ωσ δεισιδαιμονεστερουσ υμασ θεωρω
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.
23διερχομενοσ γαρ και αναθεωρων τα σεβασματα υμων ευρον και βωμον εν ω επεγεγραπτο αγνωστω θεω ον ουν αγνοουντεσ ευσεβειτε τουτον εγω καταγγελλω υμιν
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 ο ποιησασ τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω ουτοσ ουρανου και γησ κυριοσ υπαρχων ουκ εν χειροποιητοισ ναοισ κατοικει
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 υπο χειρων ανθρωπων θεραπευεται προσδεομενοσ τινοσ αυτοσ διδουσ πασιν ζωην και πνοην κατα 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;
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 the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though 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 have our being; as certain also of your own poets have 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
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 ουν υπαρχοντεσ του θεου ουκ οφειλομεν νομιζειν χρυσω η αργυρω η λιθω χαραγματι τεχνησ και ενθυμησεωσ ανθρωπου το θειον ειναι ομοιον
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
30τουσ μεν ουν χρονουσ τησ αγνοιασ υπεριδων ο θεοσ τα νυν παραγγελλει τοισ ανθρωποισ πασιν πανταχου μετανοειν
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 εστησεν ημεραν εν η μελλει κρινειν την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη εν ανδρι ω ωρισεν πιστιν παρασχων πασιν αναστησασ αυτον εκ νεκρων
32¶ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter .
32ακουσαντεσ δε αναστασιν νεκρων οι μεν εχλευαζον οι δε ειπον ακουσομεθα σου παλιν περι τουτου
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 κολληθεντεσ αυτω επιστευσαν εν οισ και διονυσιοσ ο αρεοπαγιτησ και γυνη ονοματι δαμαρισ και ετεροι συν αυτοισ
