Acts 17:1 - Prayer Tents

17Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:G1161G1353G295G2532G624G2064G1519G2332G3699G2258G4864G2453 2And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,G1161G3972G2596G1486G1525G4314G846G2532G1909G5140G4521G1256G846G575G1124 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.G1272G2532G3908G3754G5547G1163G3958G2532G450G1537G3498G2532G3754G3778G2424G3739G1473G2605G5213G2076G5547 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.G2532G5100G1537G846G3982G2532G4345G3972G2532G4609G5037G4576G1672G4183G4128G5037G4413G1135G3756G3641 5But 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.G1161G2453G544G2206G2532G4355G5100G4190G435G60G2532G3792G2350G4172G2350G5037G2186G3614G2394G2212G71G846G1519G1218 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;G1161G2147G846G3361G4951G2394G2532G5100G80G1909G4173G994G3754G3778G387G3625G387G3918G1759G2532 7Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.G3739G2394G5264G2532G3778G3956G4238G561G1378G2541G3004G1511G2087G935G2424 8And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.G1161G5015G3793G2532G4173G191G5023 9And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.G2532G2983G2425G3844G2394G2532G3062G630G846G630 10And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.G1161G80G2112G1599G5037G3972G2532G4609G1223G3571G1519G960G3748G3854G549G1519G4864G2453 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.G1161G3778G2258G2104G1722G2332G3748G1209G3056G3326G3956G4288G350G1124G2250G2596G1487G5023G2192G3779 12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.G3767G3303G4183G1537G846G4100G2532G2158G1135G3588G1674G2532G435G3756G3641 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.G1161G5613G2453G575G2332G1097G3754G2532G3056G2316G2605G5259G3972G1722G960G2064G2546G4531G3793 14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.G1161G5119G2112G80G1821G3972G4198G5613G1909G2281G1161G5037G4609G2532G5095G5278G1563G5278 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.G1161G2525G3972G71G846G2193G116G2532G2983G1785G4314G4609G2532G5095G2443G2064G4314G846G5613G5033G1826 16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.G1161G3972G1551G846G1722G116G846G4151G3947G1722G846G2334G4172G5607G2712 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.G3767G3303G1256G1722G4864G2453G2532G4576G2532G1722G58G2596G3956G2250G4314G3909 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.G1161G5100G5386G1946G2532G4770G4820G846G2532G5100G3004G5101G302G2309G3778G4691G3004G1161G1380G1511G2604G3581G1140G3754G2097G846G2424G2532G386 19And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?G5037G1949G846G71G1909G697G3004G1410G1097G5101G3778G2537G1322G5259G4675G2980 20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.G1063G1533G5100G3579G1519G2257G189G1014G1097G3767G5101G5023G302G2309G1511 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.)G1161G3956G117G2532G3581G3588G1927G2119G1519G3762G2087G2228G3004G2532G191G5100G2537 22Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.G1161G3972G2476G1722G3319G697G5346G435G117G2334G5613G2596G3956G5209G1174 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.G1063G1330G2532G333G5216G4574G2532G2147G1041G1722G3739G1924G57G2316G3739G3767G50G2151G5126G2605G1473G5213 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;G2316G4160G2889G2532G3956G1722G846G3778G5225G2962G3772G2532G1093G2730G3756G1722G3485G5499 25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;G3761G2323G5259G444G5495G4326G5100G846G1325G3956G2222G2532G4157G2596G3956 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;G5037G4160G1537G1520G129G3956G1484G444G2730G1909G3956G4383G1093G3724G2540G4384G2532G3734G846G2733 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:G2212G2962G1487G686G5584G846G2532G2147G2544G5225G3756G3112G575G1538G1520G2257 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.G1063G1722G846G2198G2532G2795G2532G2070G5613G5100G2532G5209G2596G4163G2046G1063G2070G2532G5120G1085 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.G3767G5225G1085G2316G3784G3756G3543G2304G1511G3664G5557G2228G696G2228G3037G5480G5078G2532G444G1761 30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:G3303G3767G5550G52G2316G5237G3569G3853G3956G444G3837G3340 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.G1360G2476G2250G1722G3739G3195G2919G3625G1722G1343G1722G435G3739G3724G3930G4102G3956G450G846G1537G3498 32And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.G1161G191G386G3498G3303G5512G1161G2036G191G4675G3825G4012G5127 33So Paul departed from among them.G2532G3779G3972G1831G1537G3319G846 34Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.G1161G5100G435G2853G846G4100G1722G3739G2532G1354G698G2532G1135G3686G1152G2532G2087G4862G846
