web - Acts:17:15-34

web@Acts:17:15 @ But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

web@Acts:17:16 @ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

web@Acts:17:17 @ So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

web@Acts:17:18 @ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also {TR omits "also"} were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

web@Acts:17:19 @ They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

web@Acts:17:20 @ For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean."

web@Acts:17:21 @ Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

web@Acts:17:22 @ Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

web@Acts:17:23 @ For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

web@Acts:17:24 @ The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn't dwell in temples made with hands,

web@Acts:17:25 @ neither is he served by men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

web@Acts:17:26 @ He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

web@Acts:17:27 @ that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

web@Acts:17:28 @ 'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'

web@Acts:17:29 @ Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

web@Acts:17:30 @ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

web@Acts:17:31 @ because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."

web@Acts:17:32 @ Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We want to hear you again concerning this."

web@Acts:17:33 @ Thus Paul went out from among them.

web@Acts:17:34 @ But certain men joined with him, and believed, among whom also was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
