데살로니가에서
17 바울과 실라는 암비볼리와 아볼로니아를 거쳐 데살로니가로 갔는데 거기에는 유대인의 회당이 있었다.
2 바울은 평소의 습관대로 회당에 가서 세 주간 동안 안식일마다 성경 말씀을 가지고 사람들과 토론하였다.
3 그는 그리스도께서 고난을 당하시고 죽은 사람 가운데서 다시 살아나실 수밖에 없었다는 것을 설명하고 “내가 여러분에게 전하는 이 예수님이 바로 그리스도이십니다” 하고 증거하였다.
4 그들 중 몇 사람이 믿고 바울과 실라를 따랐으며 또 수많은 경건한 그리스 사람들과 적잖은 귀부인들도 믿었다.
5 이것을 시기한 유대인들은 장터에서 깡패들을 동원하여 떼를 지어 다니면서 그 도시를 소란케 하고 바울과 실라를 사람들 앞에 끌어내려고 야손의 집을 덮쳤다.
6 그러나 그 사람들을 찾지 못하자 그들은 야손과 신자 몇 사람을 그 도시의 당국자들에게 끌고 가서 이렇게 말하였다. “세상을 온통 소란케 하던 사람들이 이 곳에도 왔는데
7 야손이 그들을 자기 집에 맞아들였습니다. 그들은 모두 황제를 거역하고 예수라는 다른 왕이 있다고 합니다.”
8 그러자 군중들과 그 도시 당국자들은 이 말을 듣고 소동하였다.
9 당국자들은 야손과 다른 신자들에게 보석금을 받고 그들을 놓아 주었다.
베뢰아에서
10 밤이 되자 신자들은 즉시 바울과 실라를 베뢰아로 보냈다. 그들은 도착하자마자 유대인의 회당으로 들어갔다.
11 베뢰아 사람들은 데살로니가 사람들보다 신사적이어서 간절한 마음으로 말씀을 받아들이며 그것을 확인하려고 날마다 성경을 연구하였다.
12 그래서 그들 가운데 많은 사람이 믿게 되었고 그들 중에는 그리스의 귀부인들과 남자들도 적지 않았다.
13 데살로니가에 사는 유대인들은 바울이 베뢰아에서도 하나님의 말씀을 전한다는 말을 듣고 그 곳까지 와서 군중들을 선동하여 소란을 피웠다.
14 그래서 신자들이 바울을 즉시 내보내 바닷가로 가게 하였다. 그러나 실라와 디모데는 그대로 남아 있었다.
15 안내하는 사람들은 바울을 아테네까지 데려다 주고 실라와 디모데도 속히 자기 에게 오게 하라는 그의 지시를 받고 돌아갔다.
아테네에서
16 바울은 아테네에서 실라와 디모데를 기다리고 있는 동안 그 도시에 우상이 가득한 것을 보고 크게 격분하였다.
17 그래서 그는 회당에서 유대인 및 경건한 이방인들과 토론하고 또 장터에 나가서 날마다 거기 모이는 사람들과 토론하였다.
18 그때 [a]에피쿠로스 학파와 [b]스토아 학파의 철학자들도 바울과 논쟁하자 어떤 사람은 “이 수다쟁이가 무슨 말을 하려는가?” 하였고 또 어떤 사람은 “외국 신들을 선전하는 사람 같다” 고도 하였다. 그들이 이렇게 말한 것은 바울이 예수님과 그의 부활에 대한 기쁜 소식을 전하고 있었기 때문이었다.
19 그들은 바울을 [c]아레오바고 광장으로 데리고 가서 이렇게 물었다. “당신이 전하고 있는 이 새 교훈은 무엇이오?
20 당신이 이상한 것을 우리에게 전해 주었으므로 우리는 그것이 무슨 뜻인지 알고 싶소.”
21 (아테네 사람들과 그 곳을 찾는 외국인들은 보다 새로운 것을 말하거나 듣는 데만 시간을 보내고 있었다.)
22 바울은 아레오바고 광장 가운데 서서 이렇게 연설하였다. “아테네 시민 여러분, 내가 보기에 여러분은 모든 면에서 종교심이 많은 분들입니다.
23 내가 이리저리 다니며 여러분의 예배처를 살피다가 ‘알지 못하는 신에게’ 라고 새긴 제단도 보았습니다. 그래서 여러분이 지금까지 모르고 예배해 온 그 신을 내가 알려 주겠습니다.
24 그 신은 바로 천지 만물을 창조하신 하나님이십니다. 그분은 하늘과 땅의 주인이므로 사람의 손으로 만든 신전에서 사시지 않으며
25 또 무엇이 부족한 것처럼 사람이 드리는 것을 받지도 않습니다. 그분은 모든 사람에게 생명과 호흡과 만물을 직접 주신 분이시기 때문입니다.
26 그분은 한 사람에게서 모든 민족을 만들어 온 땅 위에 살게 하셨으며 각 나라의 연대를 미리 정하시고 그들의 국경을 정해 주셨습니다.
27 하나님이 이렇게 하신 것은 사람들이 그분을 더듬어 찾게 하려는 것입니다. 사실 하나님은 우리에게서 멀리 떠나 계신 것이 아닙니다.
28 우리는 그분 안에서 살고 움직이며 존재합니다. 여러분의 시인 가운데 어떤 사람이 말한 것처럼 ‘우리도 그분의 [d]자녀입니다.’
29 이와 같이 우리가 하나님의 자녀가 되었으니 신을 사람의 생각과 기술로 금이나 은이나 돌에 새긴 형상 따위로 여겨서는 안 됩니다.
30 알지 못하던 시대에는 하나님이 그대로 내버려 두셨지만 이제는 각처에 있는 모든 사람에게 회개하라고 명령하십니다.
31 이것은 하나님이 정해 놓으신 사람을 통해 세상을 정의로 심판할 날을 정하시고 그분을 죽은 사람들 가운데서 다시 살리셔서 모든 사람에게 믿을 만한 증거를 주셨기 때문입니다.”
32 죽은 사람이 다시 살아난다는 말에 어떤 사람들은 비웃었고 또 더 듣고 싶다는 사람들도 있었다.
33 연설을 마친 후 바울은 거기서 나왔다.
34 그때 몇 사람이 바울을 따르고 믿었다. 그 중에는 아레오바고 [e]법관 디오누시오와 다마리라는 여자와 그 밖에 몇 사람이 있었다.

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.

Paul and Silas in 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 And Paul went in, (B)as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them (C)from the Scriptures, 3 (D)explaining and proving that it was necessary for (E)the Christ to suffer and (F)to rise from the dead, and saying, “This Jesus, whom I proclaim to you, is the Christ.” 4 And (G)some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did (H)a great many of the devout (I)Greeks and not a few of the leading women. 5 (J)But the Jews[a] (K)were jealous, and taking (L)some wicked men of the rabble, they formed a mob, set the city in an uproar, and attacked the house of Jason, seeking to bring them out to the crowd. 6 And when they could not find them, (M)they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have turned the world upside down have come here also, 7 and Jason has received them, and they are all acting against (N)the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is (O)another king, Jesus.” 8 And the people and the city authorities were disturbed when they heard these things. 9 And when they had taken money as security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Paul and Silas in Berea
10 (P)The brothers[b] immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they (Q)went into the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, (R)examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 12 (S)Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek (T)women of high standing as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Berea also, they came there too, (U)agitating and stirring up the crowds. 14 Then the brothers (V)immediately sent Paul off on his way to the sea, but Silas and (W)Timothy remained there. 15 (X)Those who conducted Paul brought him as far as (Y)Athens, and after receiving a command (Z)for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.
Paul in Athens
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was (AA)provoked within him as he saw that the city was (AB)full of idols. 17 So (AC)he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, (AD)“What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because (AE)he was preaching (AF)Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they took him and brought him to (AG)the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this (AH)new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 For you bring some (AI)strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” 21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.
Paul Addresses the Areopagus
22 So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: (AJ)‘To the unknown god.’ (AK)What therefore you worship (AL)as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 (AM)The God who made the world and everything in it, being (AN)Lord of heaven and earth, (AO)does not live in temples made by man,[c] 25 nor is he served by human hands, (AP)as though he needed anything, since he himself (AQ)gives to all mankind (AR)life and breath and everything. 26 And (AS)he made from one man every nation of mankind to live (AT)on all the face of the earth, (AU)having determined allotted periods and (AV)the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 (AW)that they should seek God, (AX)and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. (AY)Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for
as even some of (BA)your own poets have said,
“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’[e]
29 (BB)Being then God's offspring, (BC)we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30 (BD)The times of ignorance (BE)God overlooked, but (BF)now he (BG)commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed (BH)a day on which (BI)he will judge the world (BJ)in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and (BK)of this he has given assurance to all (BL)by raising him from the dead.”
32 Now when they heard of (BM)the resurrection of the dead, (BN)some mocked. But others said, (BO)“We will hear you again about this.” 33 So Paul went out from their midst. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius (BP)the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
