Acts of the Apostles 17

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	GREEK BIBLE
1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.	1 Διοδευσαντες δε την Αμφιπολιν και Απολλωνιαν, ηλθαν εις Θεσσαλονικην, οπου ητο η συναγωγη των Ιουδαιων.
2 And Paul went in, as was his custom, and for three weeks he argued with them from the scriptures,	2 Και κατα την συνηθειαν του ο Παυλος εισηλθε προς αυτους, και τρια σαββατα διελεγετο μετ' αυτων απο των γραφων,
3 explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ."	3 εξηγων και αποδεικνυων οτι επρεπε να παθη ο Χριστος και να αναστηθη εκ νεκρων και οτι ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος Ιησους, τον οποιον εγω σας κηρυττω.
4 And some of them were persuaded, and joined Paul and Silas; as did a great many of the devout Greeks and not a few of the leading women.	4 Και τινες εξ αυτων επεισθησαν και ηνωθησαν μετα του Παυλου και του Σιλα, και εκ των θεοσεβων Ελληνων πολυ πληθος και εκ των πρωτων γυναικων ουκ ολιγαι.
5 But the Jews were jealous, and taking some wicked fellows of the rabble, they gathered a crowd, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the people.	5 Φθονησαντες δε οι μη πειθομενοι Ιουδαιοι και λαβοντες μεθ' εαυτων κακους τινας ανθρωπους εκ των χυδαιων και οχλαγωγησαντες, εθορυβουν την πολιν και εφορμησαντες εις την οικιαν του Ιασονος, εζητουν αυτους δια να φερωσιν εις τον δημον?
6 And when they could not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brethren before the city authorities, crying, "These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also,	6 μη ευροντες δε αυτους, εσυραν τον Ιασονα και τινας αδελφους επι τους πολιταρχας, βοωντες οτι οι αναστατωσαντες την οικουμενην, ουτοι ηλθον και εδω,
7 and Jason has received them; and they are all acting against the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."	7 τους οποιους υπεδεχθη ο Ιασων? και παντες ουτοι πραττουσιν εναντιον των προσταγματων του Καισαρος, λεγοντες οτι ειναι βασιλευς αλλος, ο Ιησους.
8 And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard this.	8 Εταραξαν δε τον οχλον και τους πολιταρχας ακουοντας ταυτα,
9 And when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.	9 και λαβοντες εγγυησιν παρα του Ιασονος και των λοιπων, απελυσαν αυτους.
10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea; and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue.	10 Οι δε αδελφοι ευθυς δια της νυκτος εξεπεμψαν τον τε Παυλον και τον Σιλαν εις Βεροιαν, οιτινες ελθοντες υπηγον εις την συναγωγην των Ιουδαιων.
11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, examining the scriptures daily to see if these things were so.	11 Ουτοι δε ησαν ευγενεστεροι παρα τους εν Θεσσαλονικη, καθοτι εδεχθησαν τον λογον μετα πασης προθυμιας, εξεταζοντες καθ' ημεραν τας γραφας αν ουτως εχωσι ταυτα.
12 Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.	12 Πολλοι μεν λοιπον εξ αυτων επιστευσαν, και εκ των επισημων Ελληνιδων γυναικων και εκ των ανδρων ουκ ολιγοι.
13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there too, stirring up and inciting the crowds.	13 Ως δε εμα0ον οι απο της Θεσσαλονικης Ιουδαιοι οτι και εν τη Βεροια εκηρυχθη υπο του Παυλου ο λογος του Θεου, ηλθον και εκει και εταραττον τους οχλους.
14 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and Timothy remained there.	14 Και ευθυς τοτε οι αδελφοι εξαπεστειλαν τον Παυλον να υπαγη εως εις την θαλασσαν? ο Σιλας δε και ο Τιμοθεος εμειναν εκει.
15 Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.	15 Οι δε συνοδευοντες τον Παυλον εφεραν αυτον εως Αθηνων, και αφου ελαβον παραγγελιαν προς τον Σιλαν και Τιμοθεον να ελθωσι προς αυτον οσον ταχιστα, ανεχωρησαν.
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols.	16 Ενω δε περιεμενεν αυτους ο Παυλος εν ταις Αθηναις, το πνευμα αυτου παρωξυνετο εν αυτω, επειδη εβλεπε την πολιν γεμουσαν ειδωλων.
17 So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market place every day with those who chanced to be there.	17 Διελεγετο λοιπον εν τη συναγωγη μετα των Ιουδαιων και μετα των θεοσεβων και εν τη αγορα καθ' εκαστην ημεραν μετα των τυχοντων.
18 Some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers met him. And some said, "What would this babbler say?" Others said, "He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities"--because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.	18 Τινες δε των Επικουριων και των Στωικων φιλοσοφων συνηρχοντο εις λογους μετ' αυτου, και οι μεν ελεγον? Τι θελει ταχα ο σπερμολογος ουτος να ειπη; οι δε? Ξενων θεων κηρυξ φαινεται οτι ειναι? διοτι εκηρυττε προς αυτους τον Ιησουν και την αναστασιν.
19 And they took hold of him and brought him to the Are-opagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you present?	19 Και πιασαντες αυτον εφεραν εις τον Αρειον Παγον, λεγοντες? Δυναμεθα να μαθωμεν τις αυτη η νεα διδαχη, ητις κηρυττεται υπο σου;
20 For you bring some strange things to our ears; we wish to know therefore what these things mean."	20 διοτι φερεις εις τας ακοας ημων παραδοξα τινα? θελομεν λοιπον να μαθωμεν τι σημαινουσι ταυτα.
21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.	21 Παντες δε οι Αθηναιοι και οι επιδημουντες ξενοι εις ουδεν αλλο ηυκαιρουν παρα εις το να λεγωσι και να ακουωσι τι νεωτερον.
22 So Paul, standing in the middle of the Are-opagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious.	22 Σταθεις δε ο Παυλος εν μεσω του Αρειου Παγου, ειπεν? Ανδρες Αθηναιοι, κατα παντα σας βλεπω εις ακρον θεολατρας.
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 as unknown, this I proclaim to you.	23 Διοτι ενω διηρχομην και ανεθεωρουν τα σεβασματα σας, ευρον και βωμον, εις τον οποιον ειναι επιγεγραμμενον, Αγνωστω Θεω. Εκεινον λοιπον, τον οποιον αγνοουντες λατρευετε, τουτον εγω κηρυττω προς εσας.
24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man,	24 Ο Θεος, οστις εκαμε τον κοσμον και παντα τα εν αυτω, ουτος Κυριος ων του ουρανου και της γης, δεν κατοικει εν χειροποιητοις ναοις,
25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all men life and breath and everything.	25 ουδε λατρευεται υπο χειρων ανθρωπων ως εχων χρειαν τινος, επειδη αυτος διδει εις παντας ζωην και πνοην και τα παντα?
26 And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation,	26 και εκαμεν εξ ενος αιματος παν εθνος ανθρωπων, δια να κατοικωσιν εφ' ολου του προσωπου της γης, και διωρισε τους προδιατεταγμενους καιρους και τα οροθεσια της κατοικιας αυτων,
27 that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after him and find him. Yet he is not far from each one of us,	27 δια να ζητωσι τον Κυριον, ισως δυνηθωσι να ψηλαφησωσιν αυτον και να ευρωσιν, αν και δεν ειναι μακραν απο ενος εκαστου ημων.
28 for 'In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your poets have said, 'For we are indeed his offspring.'	28 Διοτι εν αυτω ζωμεν και κινουμεθα και υπαρχομεν, καθως και τινες των ποιητων σας ειπον? Διοτι και γενος ειμεθα τουτου.
29 Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man.	29 Γενος λοιπον οντες του Θεου, δεν πρεπει να νομιζωμεν τον Θεον οτι ειναι ομοιος με χρυσον η αργυρον η λιθον, κεχαραγμενα δια τεχνης και επινοιας ανθρωπου.
30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent,	30 Τους καιρους λοιπον της αγνοιας παραβλεψας ο Θεος, τωρα παραγγελλει εις παντας τους ανθρωπους πανταχου να μετανοωσι,
31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead."	31 διοτι προσδιωρισεν ημεραν εν η μελλει να κρινη την οικουμενην εν δικαιοσυνη, δια ανδρος τον οποιον διωρισε, και εδωκεν εις παντας βεβαιωσιν περι τουτου, αναστησας αυτον εκ νεκρων.
32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, "We will hear you again about this."	32 Ακουσαντες δε αναστασιν νεκρων, οι μεν εχλευαζον, οι δε ειπον? Περι τουτου θελομεν σε ακουσει παλιν.
33 So Paul went out from among them.	33 Και ουτως ο Παυλος εξηλθεν εκ μεσου αυτων.
34 But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Are-opagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.	34 Τινες δε ανδρες προσεκολληθησαν εις αυτον και επιστευσαν, μεταξυ των οποιων ητο και Διονυσιος ο Αρεοπαγιτης και γυνη τις ονοματι Δαμαρις και αλλοι μετ' αυτων.
