¹Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

KJVNow^G1161 when they had passed through^G1353^(G5660) Amphipolis^G295 and^G2532 Apollonia^G624, they came^G2064^(G5627) to^G1519 Thessalonica^G2332, where^G3699 was^G2258^(G5713) a synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453:

² Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972, as^G2596 his manner was^G1486^(G5756), went in^G1525^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, and^G2532^G1909 three^G5140 sabbath^G4521 days reasoned^G1256^(G5711) with them^G846 out of^G575 the scriptures^G1124,

³ explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.”

KJVOpening^G1272^(G5723) and^G2532 alleging^G3908^(G5734), that^G3754 Christ^G5547 must needs^G1163^(G5713) have suffered^G3958^(G5629), and^G2532 risen again^G450^(G5629) from^G1537 the dead^G3498; and^G2532 that^G3754 this^G3778 Jesus^G2424, whom^G3739 I^G1473 preach^G2605^(G5719) unto you^G5213, is^G2076^(G5748) Christ^G5547.

⁴ Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

KJVAnd^G2532 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 believed^G3982^(G5681), and^G2532 consorted^G4345^(G5681) with Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609; and^G5037 of the devout^G4576^(G5740) Greeks^G1672 a great^G4183 multitude^G4128, and^G5037 of the chief^G4413 women^G1135 not^G3756 a few^G3641.

⁵ But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

KJVBut^G1161 the Jews^G2453 which believed not^G544^(G5723), moved with envy^G2206^(G5660),^G2532 took unto them^G4355^(G5642) certain^G5100 lewd^G4190 fellows^G435 of the baser sort^G60, and^G2532 gathered a company^G3792^(G5660), and set all^G2350 the city^G4172 on an uproar^G2350^(G5707), and^G5037 assaulted^G2186^(G5631) the house^G3614 of Jason^G2394, and sought^G2212^(G5707) to bring^G71^(G5629) them^G846 out^G1519 to the people^G1218.

⁶ When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

KJVAnd^G1161 when they found^G2147^(G5631) them^G846 not^G3361, they drew^G4951^(G5707) Jason^G2394 and^G2532 certain^G5100 brethren^G80 unto^G1909 the rulers of the city^G4173, crying^G994^(G5723),^G3754 These^G3778 that have turned^G387 the world^G3625 upside down^G387^(G5660) are come^G3918^(G5748) hither^G1759 also^G2532;

⁷ whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

KJVWhom^G3739 Jason^G2394 hath received^G5264^(G5766): and^G2532 these^G3778 all^G3956 do^G4238^(G5719) contrary^G561 to the decrees^G1378 of Caesar^G2541, saying^G3004^(G5723) that there is^G1511^(G5750) another^G2087 king^G935, one Jesus^G2424.

⁸ The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

KJVAnd^G1161 they troubled^G5015^(G5656) the people^G3793 and^G2532 the rulers of the city^G4173, when they heard^G191^(G5723) these things^G5023.

⁹ When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

KJVAnd^G2532 when they had taken^G2983^(G5631) security^G2425 of^G3844 Jason^G2394, and^G2532 of the other^G3062, they let^G630 them^G846 go^G630^(G5656).

¹⁰ The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

KJVAnd^G1161 the brethren^G80 immediately^G2112 sent away^G1599^(G5656)^G5037 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609 by^G1223 night^G3571 unto^G1519 Berea^G960: who^G3748 coming^G3854^(G5637) thither went^G549^(G5713) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864 of the Jews^G2453.

¹¹ Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

KJV^G1161 These^G3778 were^G2258^(G5713) more noble^G2104 than those in^G1722 Thessalonica^G2332, in that they^G3748 received^G1209^(G5662) the word^G3056 with^G3326 all^G3956 readiness of mind^G4288, and searched^G350^(G5723) the scriptures^G1124 daily^G2250^G2596, whether^G1487 those things^G5023 were^G2192^(G5722) so^G3779.

¹² Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

KJVTherefore^G3767^G3303 many^G4183 of^G1537 them^G846 believed^G4100^(G5656); also^G2532 of honourable^G2158 women^G1135 which^G3588 were Greeks^G1674, and^G2532 of men^G435, not^G3756 a few^G3641.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G5613 the Jews^G2453 of^G575 Thessalonica^G2332 had knowledge^G1097^(G5627) that^G3754^G2532 the word^G3056 of God^G2316 was preached^G2605^(G5648) of^G5259 Paul^G3972 at^G1722 Berea^G960, they came^G2064^(G5627) thither also^G2546, and stirred up^G4531^(G5723) the people^G3793.

¹⁴ Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

KJVAnd^G1161 then^G5119 immediately^G2112 the brethren^G80 sent away^G1821^(G5656) Paul^G3972 to go^G4198^(G5738) as it were^G5613 to^G1909 the sea^G2281: but^G1161^G5037 Silas^G4609 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095 abode^G5278 there^G1563 still^G5278^(G5707).

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.

KJVAnd^G1161 they that conducted^G2525^(G5723) Paul^G3972 brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 unto^G2193 Athens^G116: and^G2532 receiving^G2983^(G5631) a commandment^G1785 unto^G4314 Silas^G4609 and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095 for to^G2443 come^G2064^(G5632) to^G4314 him^G846 with all speed^G5613^G5033, they departed^G1826^(G5713).

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

KJVNow^G1161 while Paul^G3972 waited for^G1551^(G5740) them^G846 at^G1722 Athens^G116, his^G846 spirit^G4151 was stirred^G3947^(G5712) in^G1722 him^G846, when he saw^G2334^(G5723) the city^G4172 wholly given^G5607^(G5752) to idolatry^G2712.

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.

KJVTherefore^G3767^G3303 disputed he^G1256^(G5711) in^G1722 the synagogue^G4864 with the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 with the devout persons^G4576^(G5740), and^G2532 in^G1722 the market^G58 daily^G2596^G3956^G2250 with^G4314 them that met with him^G3909^(G5723).

¹⁸ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers 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.

KJVThen^G1161 certain^G5100 philosophers^G5386 of the Epicureans^G1946, and^G2532 of the Stoicks^G4770, encountered^G4820^(G5707) him^G846. And^G2532 some^G5100 said^G3004^(G5707), What^G5101 will^G302^G2309^(G5722) this^G3778 babbler^G4691 say^G3004^(G5721)?^G1161 other some, He seemeth^G1380^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) a setter forth^G2604 of strange^G3581 gods^G1140: because^G3754 he preached^G2097^(G5710) unto them^G846 Jesus^G2424, and^G2532 the resurrection^G386.

¹⁹ They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?

KJVAnd^G5037 they took^G1949^(G5637) him^G846, and brought him^G71^(G5627) unto^G1909 Areopagus^G697, saying^G3004^(G5723), May^G1410^(G5736) we know^G1097^(G5629) what^G5101 this^G3778 new^G2537 doctrine^G1322, whereof^G5259 thou^G4675 speakest^G2980^(G5746), is?

²⁰ For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

KJVFor^G1063 thou bringest^G1533^(G5719) certain^G5100 strange things^G3579^(G5723) to^G1519 our^G2257 ears^G189: we would^G1014^(G5736) know^G1097^(G5629) therefore^G3767 what^G5101 these things^G5023 mean^G302^G2309^(G5722)^G1511^(G5750).

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.

KJV(For^G1161 all^G3956 the Athenians^G117 and^G2532 strangers^G3581 which^G3588 were there^G1927^(G5723) spent their time^G2119^(G5707) in^G1519 nothing^G3762 else^G2087, but either^G2228 to tell^G3004^(G5721), or^G2532 to hear^G191^(G5721) some^G5100 new thing^G2537.)

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.

KJVThen^G1161 Paul^G3972 stood^G2476^(G5685) in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of Mars' hill^G697, and said^G5346^(G5713), Ye men^G435 of Athens^G117, I perceive^G2334^(G5719) that^G5613 in^G2596 all things^G3956 ye^G5209 are too superstitious^G1174.

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

KJVFor^G1063 as I passed by^G1330^(G5740), and^G2532 beheld^G333^(G5723) your^G5216 devotions^G4574,^G2532 I found^G2147^(G5627) an altar^G1041 with this^G1722^G3739 inscription^G1924^(G5718), TO THE UNKNOWN^G57 GOD^G2316. Whom^G3739 therefore^G3767 ye ignorantly^G50^(G5723) worship^G2151^(G5719), him^G5126 declare^G2605^(G5719) I^G1473 unto you^G5213.

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.

KJVGod^G2316 that made^G4160^(G5660) the world^G2889 and^G2532 all things^G3956 therein^G1722^G846, seeing that he^G3778 is^G5225^(G5723) Lord^G2962 of heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093, dwelleth^G2730^(G5719) not^G3756 in^G1722 temples^G3485 made with hands^G5499;

²⁵ He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

KJVNeither^G3761 is worshipped^G2323^(G5743) with^G5259 men's^G444 hands^G5495, as though he needed^G4326^(G5740) any thing^G5100, seeing he^G846 giveth^G1325^(G5723) to all^G3956 life^G2222, and^G2532 breath^G4157, and^G2596 all things^G3956;

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,

KJVAnd^G5037 hath made^G4160^(G5656) of^G1537 one^G1520 blood^G129 all^G3956 nations^G1484 of men^G444 for to dwell^G2730^(G5721) on^G1909 all^G3956 the face^G4383 of the earth^G1093, and hath determined^G3724^(G5660) the times^G2540 before appointed^G4384^(G5772), and^G2532 the bounds^G3734 of their^G846 habitation^G2733;

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.

KJVThat they should seek^G2212^(G5721) the Lord^G2962, if^G1487 haply^G686 they might feel^G5584^(G5659) after him^G846, and^G2532 find him^G2147^(G5630), though^G2544 he be^G5225^(G5723) not^G3756 far^G3112 from^G575 every^G1538 one^G1520 of us^G2257:

²⁸ ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

KJVFor^G1063 in^G1722 him^G846 we live^G2198^(G5719), and^G2532 move^G2795^(G5743), and^G2532 have our being^G2070^(G5748); as^G5613 certain^G5100 also^G2532 of your^G5209 own^G2596 poets^G4163 have said^G2046^(G5758), For^G1063 we are^G2070^(G5748) also^G2532 his^G5120 offspring^G1085.

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.

KJVForasmuch then^G3767 as we are^G5225^(G5723) the offspring^G1085 of God^G2316, we ought^G3784^(G5719) not^G3756 to think^G3543^(G5721) that the Godhead^G2304 is^G1511^(G5750) like^G3664 unto gold^G5557, or^G2228 silver^G696, or^G2228 stone^G3037, graven^G5480 by art^G5078 and^G2532 man's^G444 device^G1761.

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

KJVAnd^G3303^G3767 the times^G5550 of this ignorance^G52 God^G2316 winked at^G5237^(G5660); but now^G3569 commandeth^G3853^(G5719) all^G3956 men^G444 every where^G3837 to repent^G3340^(G5721):

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.”

KJVBecause^G1360 he hath appointed^G2476^(G5656) a day^G2250, in^G1722 the which^G3739 he will^G3195^(G5719) judge^G2919^(G5721) the world^G3625 in^G1722 righteousness^G1343 by^G1722 that man^G435 whom^G3739 he hath ordained^G3724^(G5656); whereof he hath given^G3930^(G5631) assurance^G4102 unto all^G3956 men, in that he hath raised^G450^(G5660) him^G846 from^G1537 the dead^G3498.

³² Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when they heard^G191^(G5660) of the resurrection^G386 of the dead^G3498, some^G3303 mocked^G5512^(G5707): and^G1161 others said^G2036^(G5627), We will hear^G191^(G5695) thee^G4675 again^G3825 of^G4012 this^G5127 matter.

³³ Thus Paul went out from among them.

KJVSo^G2532^G3779 Paul^G3972 departed^G1831^(G5627) from^G1537 among^G3319 them^G846.

³⁴ But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

KJVHowbeit^G1161 certain^G5100 men^G435 clave^G2853^(G5685) unto him^G846, and believed^G4100^(G5656): among^G1722 the which^G3739^G2532 was Dionysius^G1354 the Areopagite^G698, and^G2532 a woman^G1135 named^G3686 Damaris^G1152, and^G2532 others^G2087 with^G4862 them^G846.

WEB·Acts 16

¹He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.

KJVThen^G1161 came he^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Derbe^G1191 and^G2532 Lystra^G3082: and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), a certain^G5100 disciple^G3101 was^G2258^(G5713) there^G1563, named^G3686 Timotheus^G5095, the son^G5207 of a certain^G5100 woman^G1135, which was a Jewess^G2453, and believed^G4103; but^G1161 his father^G3962 was a Greek^G1672:

² The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

KJVWhich^G3739 was well reported^G3140^(G5712) of by^G5259 the brethren^G80 that were at^G1722 Lystra^G3082 and^G2532 Iconium^G2430.

³ Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

KJVHim^G5126 would^G2309^(G5656) Paul^G3972 have to go forth^G1831^(G5629) with^G4862 him^G846; and^G2532 took^G2983^(G5631) and circumcised^G4059^(G5627) him^G846 because^G1223 of the Jews^G2453 which^G3588 were^G5607^(G5752) in^G1722 those^G1565 quarters^G5117: for^G1063 they knew^G1492^(G5715) all^G537 that^G3754 his^G846 father^G3962 was^G5225^(G5707) a Greek^G1672.

⁴ As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G5613 they went through^G1279^(G5711) the cities^G4172, they delivered^G3860^(G5707) them^G846 the decrees^G1378 for to keep^G5442^(G5721), that were ordained^G2919^(G5772) of^G5259 the apostles^G652 and^G2532 elders^G4245 which^G3588 were at^G1722 Jerusalem^G2419.

⁵ So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

KJVAnd so^G3303^G3767 were^G4732 the churches^G1577 established^G4732^(G5712) in the faith^G4102, and^G2532 increased^G4052^(G5707) in number^G706 daily^G2250^G2596.

⁶ When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

KJVNow^G1161 when they had gone throughout^G1330^(G5631) Phrygia^G5435 and^G2532 the region^G5561 of Galatia^G1054, and were forbidden^G2967^(G5685) of^G5259 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 to preach^G2980^(G5658) the word^G3056 in^G1722 Asia^G773,

⁷ When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

KJVAfter they were come^G2064^(G5631) to^G2596 Mysia^G3465, they assayed^G3985^(G5707) to go^G4198^(G5738) into^G2596 Bithynia^G978: but^G2532 the Spirit^G4151 suffered^G1439^(G5656) them^G846 not^G3756.

⁸ Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

KJVAnd^G1161 they passing by^G3928^(G5631) Mysia^G3465 came down^G2597^(G5627) to^G1519 Troas^G5174.

⁹ A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

KJVAnd^G2532 a vision^G3705 appeared^G3700^(G5681) to Paul^G3972 in^G1223 the night^G3571; There stood^G2258^(G5713)^G2476^(G5761) a man^G5100^G435 of Macedonia^G3110, and prayed^G3870^(G5723) him^G846,^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Come over^G1224^(G5631) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, and help^G997^(G5657) us^G2254.

¹⁰ When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

KJVAnd^G1161 after^G5613 he had seen^G1492^(G5627) the vision^G3705, immediately^G2112 we endeavoured^G2212^(G5656) to go^G1831^(G5629) into^G1519 Macedonia^G3109, assuredly gathering^G4822^(G5723) that^G3754 the Lord^G2962 had called^G4341^(G5766) us^G2248 for to preach the gospel^G2097^(G5670) unto them^G846.

¹¹ Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

KJVTherefore^G3767 loosing^G321^(G5685) from^G575 Troas^G5174, we came with a straight course^G2113^(G5656) to^G1519 Samothracia^G4543, and^G5037 the next^G1966^(G5752) day to^G1519 Neapolis^G3496;

¹² and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

KJVAnd^G5037 from thence^G1564 to^G1519 Philippi^G5375, which^G3748 is^G2076^(G5748) the chief^G4413 city^G4172 of that part^G3310 of Macedonia^G3109, and a colony^G2862: and^G1161 we were^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 that^G5026 city^G4172 abiding^G1304^(G5723) certain^G5100 days^G2250.

¹³ On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

KJVAnd^G5037 on the sabbath^G4521^G2250 we went^G1831^(G5627) out of^G1854 the city^G4172 by^G3844 a river side^G4215, where^G3757 prayer^G4335 was wont^G3543^(G5712) to be made^G1511^(G5750); and^G2532 we sat down^G2523^(G5660), and spake^G2980^(G5707) unto the women^G1135 which resorted^G4905^(G5631) thither.

¹⁴ A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

KJVAnd^G2532 a certain^G5100 woman^G1135 named^G3686 Lydia^G3070, a seller of purple^G4211, of the city^G4172 of Thyatira^G2363, which worshipped^G4576^(G5740) God^G2316, heard^G191^(G5707) us: whose^G3739 heart^G2588 the Lord^G2962 opened^G1272^(G5656), that she attended^G4337^(G5721) unto the things which were spoken^G2980^(G5746) of^G5259 Paul^G3972.

¹⁵ When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G5613 she was baptized^G907^(G5681), and^G2532 her^G846 household^G3624, she besought^G3870^(G5656) us, saying^G3004^(G5723), If^G1487 ye have judged^G2919^(G5758) me^G3165 to be^G1511^(G5750) faithful^G4103 to the Lord^G2962, come^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 my^G3450 house^G3624, and abide^G3306^(G5657) there. And^G2532 she constrained^G3849^(G5662) us^G2248.

¹⁶ As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as we^G2257 went^G4198^(G5740) to^G1519 prayer^G4335, a certain^G5100 damsel^G3814 possessed^G2192^(G5723) with a spirit^G4151 of divination^G4436 met^G528^(G5658) us^G2254, which^G3748 brought^G3930^(G5707) her^G846 masters^G2962 much^G4183 gain^G2039 by soothsaying^G3132^(G5740):

¹⁷ Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

KJVThe same^G3778 followed^G2628^(G5660) Paul^G3972 and^G2532 us^G2254, and cried^G2896^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), These^G3778 men^G444 are^G1526^(G5748) the servants^G1401 of the most high^G5310 God^G2316, which^G3748 shew^G2605^(G5719) unto us^G2254 the way^G3598 of salvation^G4991.

¹⁸ She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 did she^G4160^(G5707)^G1909 many^G4183 days^G2250. But^G1161 Paul^G3972, being grieved^G1278^(G5666), turned^G1994^(G5660) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) to the spirit^G4151, I command^G3853^(G5719) thee^G4671 in^G1722 the name^G3686 of Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 to come^G1831^(G5629) out of^G575 her^G846. And^G2532 he came out^G1831^(G5627) the same^G846 hour^G5610.

¹⁹ But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

KJVAnd^G1161 when her^G846 masters^G2962 saw^G1492^(G5631) that^G3754 the hope^G1680 of their^G846 gains^G2039 was gone^G1831^(G5627), they caught^G1949^(G5637) Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609, and drew^G1670^(G5656) them into^G1519 the marketplace^G58 unto^G1909 the rulers^G758,

²⁰ When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city

KJVAnd^G2532 brought^G4317^(G5631) them^G846 to the magistrates^G4755, saying^G2036^(G5627), These^G3778 men^G444, being^G5225^(G5723) Jews^G2453, do exceedingly trouble^G1613^(G5719) our^G2257 city^G4172,

²¹ and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”

KJVAnd^G2532 teach^G2605^(G5719) customs^G1485, which^G3739 are^G1832 not^G3756 lawful^G1832^(G5748) for us^G2254 to receive^G3858^(G5738), neither^G3761 to observe^G4160^(G5721), being^G5607^(G5752) Romans^G4514.

²² The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.

KJVAnd^G2532 the multitude^G3793 rose up together^G4911^(G5627) against^G2596 them^G846: and^G2532 the magistrates^G4755 rent off^G4048^(G5660) their^G846 clothes^G2440, and commanded^G2753^(G5707) to beat^G4463^(G5721) them.

²³ When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.

KJVAnd^G5037 when they had laid^G2007^(G5631) many^G4183 stripes^G4127 upon them^G846, they cast^G906^(G5627) them into^G1519 prison^G5438, charging^G3853^(G5660) the jailor^G1200 to keep^G5083^(G5721) them^G846 safely^G806:

²⁴ Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.

KJVWho^G3739, having received^G2983^(G5761) such^G5108 a charge^G3852, thrust^G906^(G5627) them^G846 into^G1519 the inner^G2082 prison^G5438, and^G2532 made^G805 their^G846 feet^G4228 fast^G805^(G5662) in^G1519 the stocks^G3586.

²⁵ But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

KJVAnd^G1161 at^G2596 midnight^G3317 Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609 prayed^G4336^(G5740), and sang praises^G5214^(G5707) unto God^G2316: and^G1161 the prisoners^G1198 heard^G1874^(G5711) them^G846.

²⁶ Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

KJVAnd^G1161 suddenly^G869 there was^G1096^(G5633) a great^G3173 earthquake^G4578, so that^G5620 the foundations^G2310 of the prison^G1201 were shaken^G4531^(G5683): and^G5037 immediately^G3916 all^G3956 the doors^G2374 were opened^G455^(G5681), and^G2532 every one's^G3956 bands^G1199 were loosed^G447^(G5681).

²⁷ The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

KJVAnd^G1161 the keeper of the prison^G1200 awaking^G1096^(G5637) out of his sleep^G1853, and^G2532 seeing^G1492^(G5631) the prison^G5438 doors^G2374 open^G455^(G5772), he drew out^G4685^(G5671) his sword^G3162, and would^G3195^(G5707) have killed^G337^(G5721) himself^G1438, supposing^G3543^(G5723) that the prisoners^G1198 had been fled^G1628^(G5755).

²⁸ But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”

KJVBut^G1161 Paul^G3972 cried^G5455^(G5656) with a loud^G3173 voice^G5456, saying^G3004^(G5723), Do^G4238^(G5661) thyself^G4572 no^G3367 harm^G2556: for^G1063 we are^G2070^(G5748) all^G537 here^G1759.

²⁹ He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,

KJVThen^G1161 he called^G154^(G5660) for a light^G5457, and sprang in^G1530^(G5656), and^G2532 came^G1096^(G5637) trembling^G1790, and fell down before^G4363^(G5627) Paul^G3972 and^G2532 Silas^G4609,

³⁰ brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

KJVAnd^G2532 brought^G4254^(G5631) them^G846 out^G1854, and said^G5346^(G5713), Sirs^G2962, what^G5101 must^G1163^(G5748) I^G3165 do^G4160^(G5721) to^G2443 be saved^G4982^(G5686)?

³¹ They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), Believe^G4100^(G5657) on^G1909 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547, and^G2532 thou^G4771 shalt be saved^G4982^(G5701), and^G2532 thy^G4675 house^G3624.

³² They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

KJVAnd^G2532 they spake^G2980^(G5656) unto him^G846 the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 to all^G3956 that were in^G1722 his^G846 house^G3614.

³³ He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

KJVAnd^G2532 he took^G3880^(G5631) them^G846^G1722 the same^G1565 hour^G5610 of the night^G3571, and washed^G3068^(G5656) their stripes^G575^G4127; and^G2532 was baptized^G907^(G5681), he^G846 and^G2532 all^G3956 his^G846, straightway^G3916.

³⁴ He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.

KJVAnd^G5037 when he had brought^G321^(G5631) them^G846 into^G1519 his house^G3624, he set^G3908 meat^G5132 before them^G3908^(G5656), and^G2532 rejoiced^G21^(G5662), believing^G4100^(G5761) in God^G2316 with all^G3832 his^G846 house^G3832.

³⁵ But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

KJVAnd^G1161 when it was^G1096^(G5637) day^G2250, the magistrates^G4755 sent^G649^(G5656) the serjeants^G4465, saying^G3004^(G5723), Let^G630 those^G1565 men^G444 go^G630^(G5657).

³⁶ The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”

KJVAnd^G1161 the keeper of the prison^G1200 told^G518^(G5656) this^G5128 saying^G3056 to^G4314 Paul^G3972,^G3754 The magistrates^G4755 have sent^G649^(G5758) to^G2443 let you go^G630^(G5686): now^G3568 therefore^G3767 depart^G1831^(G5631), and go^G4198^(G5737) in^G1722 peace^G1515.

³⁷ But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

KJVBut^G1161 Paul^G3972 said^G5346^(G5713) unto^G4314 them^G846, They have beaten^G1194^(G5660) us^G2248 openly^G1219 uncondemned^G178, being^G5225^(G5723) Romans^G4514^G444, and have cast^G906^(G5627) us into^G1519 prison^G5438; and^G2532 now^G3568 do they thrust^G1544 us^G2248 out^G1544^(G5719) privily^G2977? nay^G3756 verily^G1063; but^G235 let them come^G2064^(G5631) themselves^G846 and fetch^G1806 us^G2248 out^G1806^(G5628).

³⁸ The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

KJVAnd^G1161 the serjeants^G4465 told^G312^(G5656) these^G5023 words^G4487 unto the magistrates^G4755: and^G2532 they feared^G5399^(G5675), when they heard^G191^(G5660) that^G3754 they were^G1526^(G5748) Romans^G4514.

³⁹ and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

KJVAnd^G2532 they came^G2064^(G5631) and besought^G3870^(G5656) them^G846, and^G2532 brought them out^G1806^(G5631), and desired^G2065^(G5707) them to depart out^G1831^(G5629) of the city^G4172.

⁴⁰ They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
