KJVAnd^G1161 when they opposed^G498^(G5734) themselves^G846, and^G2532 blasphemed^G987^(G5723), he shook^G1621^(G5671) his raiment^G2440, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Your^G5216 blood^G129 be upon^G1909 your^G5216 own heads^G2776; I^G1473 am clean^G2513: from^G575 henceforth^G3568 I will go^G4198^(G5695) unto^G1519 the Gentiles^G1484.

¹⁰ for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”

KJVFor^G1360 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) with^G3326 thee^G4675, and^G2532 no man^G3762 shall set on^G2007^(G5698) thee^G4671 to hurt^G2559^(G5658) thee^G4571: for^G1360 I^G3427 have^G2076^(G5748) much^G4183 people^G2992 in^G1722 this^G5026 city^G4172.

¹² But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

KJVAnd^G1161 when Gallio^G1058 was the deputy^G445^(G5723) of Achaia^G882, the Jews^G2453 made insurrection^G2721^(G5627) with one accord against^G3661 Paul^G3972, and^G2532 brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846 to^G1909 the judgment seat^G968,

¹³ saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

KJVSaying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 This^G3778 fellow persuadeth^G374^(G5719) men^G444 to worship^G4576^(G5738) God^G2316 contrary^G3844 to the law^G3551.

¹⁴ But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

KJVAnd^G1161 when Paul^G3972 was now about^G3195^(G5723) to open^G455^(G5721) his mouth^G4750, Gallio^G1058 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 the Jews^G2453, If^G1487^G3303^G3767 it were^G2258^(G5713) a^G5100 matter of wrong^G92 or^G2228 wicked^G4190 lewdness^G4467, O^G5599 ye Jews^G2453, reason^G2596^G3056 would^G302 that I should bear^G430^(G5633) with you^G5216:

¹⁵ but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 it be^G2076^(G5748) a question^G2213 of^G4012 words^G3056 and^G2532 names^G3686, and^G2532 of^G2596 your^G5209 law^G3551, look ye^G3700^(G5695)^G846 to it; for^G1063 I^G1473 will be^G1014^(G5736)^G1511^(G5750) no^G3756 judge^G2923 of such^G5130 matters.

¹⁶ So he drove them from the judgment seat.

KJVAnd^G2532 he drave^G556^(G5656) them^G846 from^G575 the judgment seat^G968.

¹⁷ Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

KJVThen^G1161 all^G3956 the Greeks^G1672 took^G1949^(G5637) Sosthenes^G4988, the chief ruler of the synagogue^G752, and beat^G5180^(G5707) him before^G1715 the judgment seat^G968. And^G2532 Gallio^G1058 cared^G3199^(G5707) for none^G3762 of those things^G5130.

¹⁸ Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

KJVAnd^G1161 Paul^G3972 after this tarried^G4357^(G5660) there yet^G2089 a good^G2425 while^G2250, and then took his leave^G657^(G5671) of the brethren^G80, and sailed thence^G1602^(G5707) into^G1519 Syria^G4947, and^G2532 with^G4862 him^G846 Priscilla^G4252 and^G2532 Aquila^G207; having shorn^G2751^(G5671) his head^G2776 in^G1722 Cenchrea^G2747: for^G1063 he had^G2192^(G5707) a vow^G2171.

¹⁹ He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

KJVAnd^G1161 he came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181, and^G2548 left^G2641^(G5627) them there^G847: but^G1161 he himself^G846 entered^G1525^(G5631) into^G1519 the synagogue^G4864, and reasoned with^G1256^(G5675) the Jews^G2453.

²⁰ When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

KJVWhen^G1161 they^G846 desired^G2065^(G5723) him to tarry^G3306^(G5658) longer^G1909^G4119 time^G5550 with^G3844 them^G846, he consented^G1962^(G5656) not^G3756;

²¹ but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

KJVBut^G235 bade^G657 them^G846 farewell^G657^(G5662), saying^G2036^(G5631), I^G3165 must^G1163^(G5748) by all means^G3843 keep^G4160^(G5658) this feast^G1859 that cometh^G2064^(G5740) in^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414: but^G1161 I will return^G344^(G5692) again^G3825 unto^G4314 you^G5209, if God^G2316 will^G2309^(G5723). And^G2532 he sailed^G321^(G5681) from^G575 Ephesus^G2181.

²² When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had landed^G2718^(G5631) at^G1519 Caesarea^G2542, and gone up^G305^(G5631), and^G2532 saluted^G782^(G5666) the church^G1577, he went down^G2597^(G5627) to^G1519 Antioch^G490.

²³ Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

KJVAnd^G2532 after he had spent^G4160^(G5660) some^G5100 time^G5550 there, he departed^G1831^(G5627), and went over^G1330^(G5740) all the country^G5561 of Galatia^G1054 and^G2532 Phrygia^G5435 in order^G2517, strengthening^G1991^(G5723) all^G3956 the disciples^G3101.

²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

KJVAnd^G1161 a certain^G5100 Jew^G2453 named^G3686 Apollos^G625, born^G1085 at Alexandria^G221, an eloquent^G3052 man^G435, and mighty^G5607^(G5752)^G1415 in^G1722 the scriptures^G1124, came^G2658^(G5656) to^G1519 Ephesus^G2181.

²⁵ This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

KJVThis man^G3778 was^G2258^(G5713) instructed in^G2727^(G5772) the way^G3598 of the Lord^G2962; and^G2532 being fervent^G2204^(G5723) in the spirit^G4151, he spake^G2980^(G5707) and^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5707) diligently^G199 the things of^G4012 the Lord^G2962, knowing^G1987^(G5740) only^G3440 the baptism^G908 of John^G2491.

²⁶ He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

KJVAnd^G5037 he^G3778 began^G756^(G5662) to speak boldly^G3955^(G5738) in^G1722 the synagogue^G4864: whom^G846 when^G1161 Aquila^G207 and^G2532 Priscilla^G4252 had heard^G191^(G5660), they took^G4355^(G5639) him^G846 unto them, and^G2532 expounded^G1620^(G5639) unto him^G846 the way^G3598 of God^G2316 more perfectly^G197.

²⁷ When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

KJVAnd^G1161 when he^G846 was disposed^G1014^(G5740) to pass^G1330^(G5629) into^G1519 Achaia^G882, the brethren^G80 wrote^G1125^(G5656), exhorting^G4389^(G5671) the disciples^G3101 to receive^G588^(G5664) him^G846: who^G3739, when he was come^G3854^(G5637), helped them^G4820^(G5639) much^G4183 which had believed^G4100^(G5761) through^G1223 grace^G5485:

²⁸ for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

KJVFor^G1063 he mightily^G2159 convinced^G1246^(G5711) the Jews^G2453, and that publickly^G1219, shewing^G1925^(G5723) by^G1223 the scriptures^G1124 that Jesus^G2424 was^G1511^(G5750) Christ^G5547.

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,

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^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.
