and for three sabbath days he reasoned with them out of the scriptures: <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Declaring 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>And 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. </p> <p class="hdg">Jason Seized</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>But 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>And 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; <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>And they stirred up the people, and the rulers of the city hearing these things, <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>And having taken satisfaction of Jason and of the rest, they let them go. </p> <p class="hdg">Paul and Silas at Berea</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>But 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, who received the word with all eagerness, daily searching the scriptures, whether these things were so. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>And 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>And 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. </p> <p class="hdg">Paul at Athens</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>He 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>And 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>And taking him, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying: May we know what this new doctrine is, which thou speakest of? <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>(Now all the Athenians, and strangers that were there, employed themselves in nothing else, but either in telling or in hearing some new thing.) </p> <p class="hdg">Paul Before the Areopagus</p><p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>For 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: <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>God, who made the world, and all things therein; he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>Neither 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: <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>And hath made of one, all mankind, to dwell upon the whole face of the earth, determining appointed times, and the limits of their habitation. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>That they should seek God, if happily they may feel after him or find him, although he be not far from every one of us: <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Being 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. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance, now declareth unto men, that all should every where do penance. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>Because 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. </p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, but others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>So Paul went out from among them. <span class="reftext"><a href="/acts/17-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>But certain men adhering to him, did believe; among whom was also Dionysius, the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. </p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">Douay-Rheims Bible<br /><br /><a href="//bereanbible.com">Section Headings Courtesy BereanBible.com<br />© 2013, 2014 Used by Permission</a><span class="p"><br /><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a></div></div></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="../acts/16.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Acts 16"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Acts 16" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../acts/18.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Acts 18"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Acts 18" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="rightbox"><div class="padright"><div id="pic"><iframe width="100%" height="860" scrolling="no" src="//biblescan.com/mpad/acts/17-1.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></div></div><div id="rightbox4"><div class="padright2"><div id="spons1"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td class="sp1"><iframe src="//biblemenus.com/adframe120.htm" width="122" height="602" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe><br /><br /></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <div align="center"><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
