1 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews: Compare verse3 commentaries
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in to them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, Compare verse2 commentaries
3 Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach to you, is Christ. Compare verse2 commentaries
4 And 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. Compare verse2 commentaries
5 But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took to 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. Compare verse1 commentary
6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brothers to the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come here also; Compare verse3 commentaries
7 Whom Jason has received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. Compare verse2 commentaries
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things. Compare verse2 commentaries
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go. Compare verse2 commentaries
10 And the brothers immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night to Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. Compare verse2 commentaries
11 These 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. Compare verse5 commentaries
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. Compare verse4 commentaries
13 But 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. Compare verse2 commentaries
14 And then immediately the brothers sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus stayed there still. Compare verse1 commentary
15 And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens: and receiving a commandment to Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed. Compare verse2 commentaries
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. Compare verse1 commentary
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. Compare verse1 commentary
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection. Compare verse7 commentaries
19 And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof you speak, is? Compare verse2 commentaries
20 For you bring certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. Compare verse1 commentary
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.) Compare verse3 commentaries
22 Then Paul stood in the middle of Mars' hill, and said, You men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious. Compare verse6 commentaries
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I to you. Compare verse7 commentaries
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Compare verse9 commentaries
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things; Compare verse3 commentaries
26 And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Compare verse3 commentaries
27 That 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: Compare verse5 commentaries
28 For 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. Compare verse8 commentaries
29 For as much then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Compare verse3 commentaries
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commands all men every where to repent: Compare verse3 commentaries
31 Because he has appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead. Compare verse7 commentaries
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear you again of this matter. Compare verse1 commentary
34 However, certain men joined to him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. Compare verse1 commentary
