Деяния 17
Russian Synodal Version
17 Пройдя через Амфиполь и Аполлонию, они пришли в Фессалонику, где была Иудейская синагога.
2 Павел, по своему обыкновению, вошел к ним и три субботы говорил с ними из Писаний,
3 открывая и доказывая им, что Христу надлежало пострадать и воскреснуть из мертвых и что Сей Христос есть Иисус, Которого я проповедую вам.
4 И некоторые из них уверовали и присоединились к Павлу и Силе, как из Еллинов, чтущих [Бога], великое множество, так и из знатных женщин немало.
5 Но неуверовавшие Иудеи, возревновав и взяв с площади некоторых негодных людей, собрались толпою и возмущали город и, приступив к дому Иасона, домогались вывести их к народу.
6 Не найдя же их, повлекли Иасона и некоторых братьев к городским начальникам, крича, что эти всесветные возмутители пришли и сюда,
7 а Иасон принял их, и все они поступают против повелений кесаря, почитая другого царем, Иисуса.
8 И встревожили народ и городских начальников, слушавших это.
9 Но [сии], получив удостоверение от Иасона и прочих, отпустили их.
10 Братия же немедленно ночью отправили Павла и Силу в Верию, куда они прибыв, пошли в синагогу Иудейскую.
11 Здешние были благомысленнее Фессалоникских: они приняли слово со всем усердием, ежедневно разбирая Писания, точно ли это так.
12 И многие из них уверовали, и из Еллинских почетных женщин и из мужчин немало.
13 Но когда Фессалоникские Иудеи узнали, что и в Верии проповедано Павлом слово Божие, то пришли и туда, возбуждая и возмущая народ.
14 Тогда братия тотчас отпустили Павла, как будто идущего к морю; а Сила и Тимофей остались там.
15 Сопровождавшие Павла проводили его до Афин и, получив приказание к Силе и Тимофею, чтобы они скорее пришли к нему, отправились.
16 В ожидании их в Афинах Павел возмутился духом при виде этого города, полного идолов.
17 Итак он рассуждал в синагоге с Иудеями и с чтущими [Бога], и ежедневно на площади со встречающимися.
18 Некоторые из эпикурейских и стоических философов стали спорить с ним; и одни говорили: 'что хочет сказать этот суеслов?', а другие: 'кажется, он проповедует о чужих божествах', потому что он благовествовал им Иисуса и воскресение.
19 И, взяв его, привели в ареопаг и говорили: можем ли мы знать, что это за новое учение, проповедуемое тобою?
20 Ибо что-то странное ты влагаешь в уши наши. Посему хотим знать, что это такое?
21 Афиняне же все и живущие [у них] иностранцы ни в чем охотнее не проводили время, как в том, чтобы говорить или слушать что-- нибудь новое.
22 И, став Павел среди ареопага, сказал: Афиняне! по всему вижу я, что вы как бы особенно набожны.
23 Ибо, проходя и осматривая ваши святыни, я нашел и жертвенник, на котором написано 'неведомому Богу'. Сего-то, Которого вы, не зная, чтите, я проповедую вам.
24 Бог, сотворивший мир и всё, что в нем, Он, будучи Господом неба и земли, не в рукотворенных храмах живет
25 и не требует служения рук человеческих, [как бы] имеющий в чем-либо нужду, Сам дая всему жизнь и дыхание и всё.
26 От одной крови Он произвел весь род человеческий для обитания по всему лицу земли, назначив предопределенные времена и пределы их обитанию,
27 дабы они искали Бога, не ощутят ли Его и не найдут ли, хотя Он и недалеко от каждого из нас:
28 ибо мы Им живем и движемся и существуем, как и некоторые из ваших стихотворцев говорили: 'мы Его и род'.
29 Итак мы, будучи родом Божиим, не должны думать, что Божество подобно золоту, или серебру, или камню, получившему образ от искусства и вымысла человеческого.
30 Итак, оставляя времена неведения, Бог ныне повелевает людям всем повсюду покаяться,
31 ибо Он назначил день, в который будет праведно судить вселенную, посредством предопределенного Им Мужа, подав удостоверение всем, воскресив Его из мертвых.
32 Услышав о воскресении мертвых, одни насмехались, а другие говорили: об этом послушаем тебя в другое время.
33 Итак Павел вышел из среды их.
34 Некоторые же мужи, пристав к нему, уверовали; между ними был Дионисий Ареопагит и женщина, именем Дамарь, и другие с ними.
Acts 17
New King James Version
Preaching Christ at Thessalonica
17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to (A)Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. 2 Then Paul, as his custom was, (B)went in to them, and for three Sabbaths (C)reasoned with them from the Scriptures, 3 explaining and demonstrating (D)that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ.” 4 (E)And some of them were persuaded; and a great multitude of the devout Greeks, and not a few of the leading women, joined Paul and (F)Silas.
Assault on Jason’s House
5 But the Jews [a]who were not persuaded, [b]becoming (G)envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace, and gathering a mob, set all the city in an uproar and attacked the house of (H)Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, (I)“These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. 7 Jason has [c]harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, (J)saying there is another king—Jesus.” 8 And they troubled the crowd and the rulers of the city when they heard these things. 9 So when they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Ministering at Berea
10 Then (K)the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more [d]fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and (L)searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. 14 (M)Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and (N)receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
The Philosophers at Athens
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, (O)his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was [e]given over to idols. 17 Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there. 18 [f]Then certain Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him. And some said, “What does this [g]babbler want to say?”
Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods,” because he preached to them (P)Jesus and the resurrection.
19 And they took him and brought him to the [h]Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new doctrine is of which you speak? 20 For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. Therefore we want to know what these things mean.” 21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.
Addressing the Areopagus
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the [i]Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription:
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD.
Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you: 24 (Q)God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is (R)Lord of heaven and earth, (S)does not dwell in temples made with hands. 25 Nor is He worshiped with men’s hands, as though He needed anything, since He (T)gives to all life, breath, and all things. 26 And He has made from one [j]blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and (U)the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 (V)so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, (W)though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for (X)in Him we live and move and have our being, (Y)as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, (Z)we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising. 30 Truly, (AA)these times of ignorance God overlooked, but (AB)now commands all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which (AC)He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by (AD)raising Him from the dead.”
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, “We will hear you again on this matter.” 33 So Paul departed from among them. 34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

In Thessalonica
17 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica,(A) where there was a Jewish synagogue. 2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,(B) and on three Sabbath(C) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,(D) 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer(E) and rise from the dead.(F) “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,”(G) he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,(H) as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.
5 But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.(I) They rushed to Jason’s(J) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged(K) Jason and some other believers(L) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(M) have now come here,(N) 7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”(O) 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason(P) and the others post bond and let them go.
In Berea
10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas(Q) away to Berea.(R) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.(S) 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica,(T) for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures(U) every day to see if what Paul said was true.(V) 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.(W)
13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,(X) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers(Y) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas(Z) and Timothy(AA) stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens(AB) and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.(AC)
In Athens
16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue(AD) with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news(AE) about Jesus and the resurrection.(AF) 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus,(AG) where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching(AH) is that you are presenting? 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” 21 (All the Athenians(AI) and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.)
22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus(AJ) and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.(AK) 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship(AL)—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it(AM) is the Lord of heaven and earth(AN) and does not live in temples built by human hands.(AO) 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.(AP) 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.(AQ) 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.(AR) 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b](AS) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c]
29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.(AT) 30 In the past God overlooked(AU) such ignorance,(AV) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.(AW) 31 For he has set a day when he will judge(AX) the world with justice(AY) by the man he has appointed.(AZ) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”(BA)
32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,(BB) some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus,(BC) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.

King James Version
17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
3 Opening 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.
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.
5 But 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.
6 And 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;
7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
8 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
9 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
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.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
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.
14 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
15 And 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.
16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
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.
18 Then 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.
19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
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.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For 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.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And 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;
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:
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.
29 Forasmuch 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.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because 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.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Hechos 17
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
Evangelización de Tesalónica
17 Pasaron por Anfípolis y Apolonia y llegaron a Tesalónica, donde había una sinagoga judía. 2 Siguiendo su costumbre, Pablo asistió a sus reuniones, y durante tres sábados consecutivos departió con ellos, 3 explicándoles y demostrándoles, con base en las Escrituras, que el Mesías había de padecer y resucitar de entre los muertos. Y añadía:
— El Mesías no es otro que Jesús, a quien yo les anuncio.
4 Algunos judíos se convencieron y se unieron a Pablo y a Silas, y lo mismo hicieron muchos griegos que rendían culto al verdadero Dios, junto con numerosas damas distinguidas. 5 Pero los judíos, movidos por la envidia, reclutaron unos cuantos maleantes callejeros que alborotaron a la población y provocaron un tumulto en la ciudad. Se aglomeraron ante la casa de Jasón con el propósito de conducir a Pablo y a Silas ante la asamblea popular. 6 Como no los encontraron, llevaron a rastras a Jasón y a algunos otros hermanos ante los magistrados, diciendo a gritos:
— ¡Esos individuos que han revolucionado el mundo entero, también se han presentado aquí! 7 ¡Jasón los ha hospedado en su casa y no hacen más que desafiar las leyes del emperador y afirman que hay otro rey, Jesús!
8 Estas palabras alarmaron a la gente y a los magistrados; 9 así que exigieron a Jasón y a los demás que depositasen una fianza para dejarlos en libertad.
Pablo y Silas en Berea
10 Al caer la noche, sin más dilación, los hermanos encaminaron a Pablo y a Silas hacia Berea. Llegados allí, no tardaron en acudir a la sinagoga judía. 11 En Berea, los judíos eran de mejor talante que los de Tesalónica, y recibieron el mensaje con gran interés, estudiando asiduamente las Escrituras para comprobar si las cosas eran realmente así. 12 Muchos de ellos creyeron, e incluso entre los no judíos hubo un gran número de señoras distinguidas y de hombres que abrazaron la fe.
13 Pero cuando los judíos de Tesalónica se enteraron de que Pablo estaba anunciando el mensaje de Dios en Berea, fueron allá para incitar y alborotar a la plebe. 14 Así que, sin pérdida de tiempo, los hermanos condujeron a Pablo hasta la costa; Silas y Timoteo se quedaron en Berea. 15 Los que acompañaban a Pablo lo escoltaron hasta Atenas y regresaron con el encargo de que Silas y Timoteo se reuniesen cuanto antes con él.
Pablo en Atenas
16 Mientras esperaba en Atenas a Silas y a Timoteo, Pablo se sentía exasperado al ver la ciudad sumida en la idolatría. 17 Conversaba en la sinagoga con los judíos y con los que, sin serlo, rendían culto al Dios verdadero; y lo mismo hacía diariamente en la plaza mayor con los transeúntes. 18 También entraron en contacto con él algunos filósofos epicúreos y estoicos. Unos preguntaban:
— ¿Qué podrá decir este charlatán?
Otros, basándose en que anunciaba la buena nueva de Jesús y de la resurrección, comentaban:
— Parece ser un propagandista de dioses extranjeros.
19 Así que, sin más miramientos, lo llevaron al Areópago y le preguntaron:
— ¿Puede saberse qué nueva doctrina es esta que enseñas? 20 Pues nos estás martilleando los oídos con extrañas ideas y queremos saber qué significa todo esto.
21 (Téngase en cuenta que todos los atenienses, y también los residentes extranjeros, no se ocupaban más que de charlar sobre las últimas novedades).
Discurso de Pablo en el Areópago
22 Pablo, erguido en el centro del Areópago, tomó la palabra y se expresó así:
— Atenienses: resulta a todas luces evidente que ustedes son muy religiosos. 23 Lo prueba el hecho de que, mientras deambulaba por la ciudad contemplando los monumentos sagrados, he encontrado un altar con esta inscripción: “Al dios desconocido”. Pues al que ustedes adoran sin conocerlo, a ese les vengo a anunciar. 24 Es el Dios que ha creado el universo y todo lo que en él existe; siendo como es el Señor de cielos y tierra, no habita en templos construidos por hombres 25 ni tiene necesidad de ser honrado por humanos, pues es él quien imparte a todos vida, aliento y todo lo demás. 26 Él ha hecho que, a partir de uno solo, las más diversas razas humanas pueblen la superficie entera de la tierra, determinando las épocas concretas y los lugares exactos en que debían habitar. 27 Y esto para ver si, aunque fuese a tientas, pudieran encontrar a Dios, que realmente no está muy lejos de cada uno de nosotros. 28 En él, efectivamente, vivimos, nos movemos y existimos, como bien dijeron algunos de sus poetas: “Estirpe suya somos”. 29 Siendo, pues, estirpe de Dios, no debemos suponer que la divinidad tenga algún parecido con esas imágenes de oro, plata o mármol, que son labradas por el arte y la inspiración humana. 30 Y aunque es verdad que Dios no ha tomado en cuenta los tiempos en que reinaba la ignorancia, ahora dirige un aviso a todos los humanos, dondequiera que estén, para que se conviertan. 31 Y ya tiene fijado el día en que ha de juzgar con toda justicia al mundo; a tal fin ha designado a un hombre, a quien ha dado su aprobación delante de todos al resucitarlo triunfante de la muerte.
32 Cuando oyeron hablar de resurrección de muertos, unos lo tomaron a burla. Y otros dijeron:
— ¡Ya nos hablarás de ese tema en otra ocasión!
33 Así que Pablo abandonó la reunión. 34 Sin embargo, hubo quienes se unieron a él y abrazaron la fe; entre ellos, Dionisio, que era miembro del Areópago; una mujer llamada Dámaris y algunos otros.
