King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, The heavenH8064 is my throneH3678, and the earthH776 is my footstoolH7272+H1916: where is the houseH1004 that ye buildH1129 unto me? and where is the placeH4725 of my restH4496?
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
He that killethH7819 an oxH7794 is as if he slewH5221 a manH376; he that sacrificethH2076 a lambH7716, as if he cut offH6202 a dog'sH3611 neckH6202; he that offerethH5927 an oblationH4503, as if he offered swine'sH2386 bloodH1818; he that burnethH2142 incenseH3828, as if he blessedH1288 an idolH205. Yea, they have chosenH977 their own waysH1870, and their soulH5315 delightethH2654 in their abominationsH8251. {lamb: or, kid} {burneth: Heb. maketh a memorial of}
I also will chooseH977 their delusionsH8586, and will bringH935 their fearsH4035 upon them; because when I calledH7121, none did answerH6030; when I spakeH1696, they did not hearH8085: but they didH6213 evilH7451 before mine eyesH5869, and choseH977 that in which I delightedH2654 not. {delusions: or, devices}
HearH8085 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, ye that trembleH2730 at his wordH1697; Your brethrenH251 that hatedH8130 you, that cast you outH5077 for my name'sH8034 sake, saidH559, Let the LORDH3068 be glorifiedH3513: but he shall appearH7200 to your joyH8057, and they shall be ashamedH954.
A voiceH6963 of noiseH7588 from the cityH5892, a voiceH6963 from the templeH1964, a voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068 that renderethH7999 recompenceH1576 to his enemiesH341.
Before she travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205; before her painH2256 cameH935, she was deliveredH4422 of a man childH2145.
Who hath heardH8085 such a thing? who hath seenH7200 such things? Shall the earthH776 be made to bring forthH2342 in oneH259 dayH3117? or shall a nationH1471 be bornH3205 at onceH6471? for as soon asH1571 ZionH6726 travailedH2342, she brought forthH3205 her childrenH1121.
Shall I bring to the birthH7665, and not cause to bring forthH3205? saithH559 the LORDH3068: shall IH589 cause to bring forthH3205, and shutH6113 the womb? saithH559 thy GodH430. {not…: or, not beget?}
RejoiceH8055 ye with JerusalemH3389, and be gladH1523 with her, all ye that loveH157 her: rejoiceH7797 for joyH4885 with her, all ye that mournH56 for her:
That ye may suckH3243, and be satisfiedH7646 with the breastsH7699 of her consolationsH8575; that ye may milk outH4711, and be delightedH6026 with the abundanceH2123 of her gloryH3519. {abundance: or, brightness}
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will extendH5186 peaceH7965 to her like a riverH5104, and the gloryH3519 of the GentilesH1471 like a flowingH7857 streamH5158: then shall ye suckH3243, ye shall be borneH5375 upon her sidesH6654, and be dandledH8173 upon her kneesH1290.
As oneH376 whom his motherH517 comfortethH5162, so will I comfortH5162 you; and ye shall be comfortedH5162 in JerusalemH3389.
And when ye seeH7200 this, your heartH3820 shall rejoiceH7797, and your bonesH6106 shall flourishH6524 like an herbH1877: and the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 shall be knownH3045 toward his servantsH5650, and his indignationH2194 toward his enemiesH341.
For, behold, the LORDH3068 will comeH935 with fireH784, and with his chariotsH4818 like a whirlwindH5492, to renderH7725 his angerH639 with furyH2534, and his rebukeH1606 with flamesH3851 of fireH784.
For by fireH784 and by his swordH2719 will the LORDH3068 pleadH8199 with all fleshH1320: and the slainH2491 of the LORDH3068 shall be manyH7231.
They that sanctifyH6942 themselves, and purifyH2891 themselves in the gardensH1593 behindH310 oneH259 tree in the midstH8432, eatingH398 swine'sH2386 fleshH1320, and the abominationH8263, and the mouseH5909, shall be consumedH5486 togetherH3162, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {behind…: or, one after another}
For I know their worksH4639 and their thoughtsH4284: it shall comeH935, that I will gatherH6908 all nationsH1471 and tonguesH3956; and they shall comeH935, and seeH7200 my gloryH3519.
And I will setH7760 a signH226 among them, and I will sendH7971 those that escapeH6412 of them unto the nationsH1471, to TarshishH8659, PulH6322, and LudH3865, that drawH4900 the bowH7198, to TubalH8422, and JavanH3120, to the islesH339 afar offH7350, that have not heardH8085 my fameH8088, neither have seenH7200 my gloryH3519; and they shall declareH5046 my gloryH3519 among the GentilesH1471.
And they shall bringH935 all your brethrenH251 for an offeringH4503 unto the LORDH3068 out of all nationsH1471 upon horsesH5483, and in chariotsH7393, and in littersH6632, and upon mulesH6505, and upon swift beastsH3753, to my holyH6944 mountainH2022 JerusalemH3389, saithH559 the LORDH3068, as the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 bringH935 an offeringH4503 in a cleanH2889 vesselH3627 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. {litters: or, coaches}
And I will also takeH3947 of them for priestsH3548 and for LevitesH3881, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
For as the newH2319 heavensH8064 and the newH2319 earthH776, which I will makeH6213, shall remainH5975 beforeH6440 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, so shall your seedH2233 and your nameH8034 remainH5975.
And it shall come to pass, that fromH1767 one new moonH2320 to anotherH2320, and fromH1767 one sabbathH7676 to anotherH7676, shall all fleshH1320 comeH935 to worshipH7812 beforeH6440 me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {from one new…: Heb. from new moon to his new moon, and from sabbath to his sabbath}
And they shall go forthH3318, and lookH7200 upon the carcasesH6297 of the menH582 that have transgressedH6586 against me: for their wormH8438 shall not dieH4191, neither shall their fireH784 be quenchedH3518; and they shall be an abhorringH1860 unto all fleshH1320.
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I will singH7891 of mercyH2617 and judgmentH4941: unto thee, O LORDH3068, will I singH2167.
Let usG5399 thereforeG3767 fearG5399, lestG3379, a promiseG1860 being leftG2641 us of enteringG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, anyG5100 ofG1537 youG5216 should seemG1380 to come short of itG5302.
ForG2532+G1063 unto us wasG2070 the gospel preachedG2097, as well asG2509 unto themG2548: butG235 the wordG3056 preachedG189 didG5623 notG3756 profitG5623 themG1565, notG3361 being mixedG4786 with faithG4102 in them that heardG191 it. {the word…: Gr. the word of hearing} {not being…: or, because they were not united by faith to}
ForG1063 we whichG3588 have believedG4100 do enterG1525 intoG1519 restG2663, asG2531 he saidG2046, AsG5613 I have swornG3660 inG1722 myG3450 wrathG3709, ifG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663: althoughG2543 the worksG2041 were finishedG1096 fromG575 the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889.
ForG1063 he spakeG2046 in a certain placeG4225 ofG4012 the seventhG1442 day on this wiseG3779, AndG2532 GodG2316 did restG2664 the seventhG1722+G1442 dayG2250 fromG575 allG3956 hisG846 worksG2041.
AndG2532 inG1722 thisG5129 place againG3825, IfG1487 they shall enterG1525 intoG1519 myG3450 restG2663.
SeeingG1893 thereforeG3767 it remainethG620 that someG5100 must enterG1525 thereinG1519+G846, andG2532 they to whom it was firstG4386 preachedG2097 enteredG1525 notG3756 inG1525 becauseG1223 of unbeliefG543: {it was: or, the gospel was}
AgainG3825, he limitethG3724 a certainG5100 dayG2250, sayingG3004 inG1722 DavidG1138, To dayG4594, afterG3326 so longG5118 a timeG5550; asG2531 it is saidG2046, To dayG4594 ifG1437 ye will hearG191 hisG846 voiceG5456, hardenG4645 notG3361 yourG5216 heartsG2588.
ForG1063 ifG1487 JesusG2424 had givenG2664 themG846 restG2664, then would heG302 notG3756 afterwardG3326+G5023 have spokenG2980 ofG4012 anotherG243 dayG2250. {Jesus: that is, Joshua}
There remainethG620 thereforeG686 a restG4520 to the peopleG2992 of GodG2316. {rest: or, keeping of a sabbath}
ForG1063 he that is enteredG1525 intoG1519 hisG846 restG2663, heG846 alsoG2532 hath ceasedG2664 fromG575 his ownG846 worksG2041, asG5618 GodG2316 did fromG575 hisG2398.
Let us labourG4704 thereforeG3767 to enterG1525 intoG1519 thatG1565 restG2663, lestG3363 any manG5100 fallG4098 afterG1722 the sameG846 exampleG5262 of unbeliefG543. {unbelief: or, disobedience}
ForG1063 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 is quickG2198, andG2532 powerfulG1756, andG2532 sharperG5114 thanG5228 anyG3956 twoedgedG1366 swordG3162, piercingG1338 even toG891 the dividing asunderG3311 of soulG5590 andG5037+G2532 spiritG4151, andG5037+G2532 of the jointsG719 andG2532 marrowG3452, andG2532 is a discernerG2924 of the thoughtsG1761 andG2532 intentsG1771 of the heartG2588.
NeitherG2532+G3756 is thereG2076 any creatureG2937 that is not manifestG852 in hisG846 sightG1799: butG1161 all thingsG3956 are nakedG1131 andG2532 openedG5136 unto the eyesG3788 of himG846 withG4314 whomG3739 we haveG2254 to doG3056.
SeeingG2192 thenG3767 that we haveG2192 a greatG3173 high priestG749, that is passed intoG1330 the heavensG3772, JesusG2424 the SonG5207 of GodG2316, let us hold fastG2902 our professionG3671.
ForG1063 we haveG2192 notG3756 an high priestG749 which cannotG3361+G1410 be touched with the feelingG4834 of ourG2257 infirmitiesG769; butG1161 wasG3985 inG2596 all pointsG3956 temptedG3985+G3987 likeG2596 asG3665 we are, yet withoutG5565 sinG266.
Let usG4334 thereforeG3767 comeG4334 boldlyG3326+G3954 unto the throneG2362 of graceG5485, thatG2443 we may obtainG2983 mercyG1656, andG2532 findG2147 graceG5485 to helpG996 inG1519 time of needG2121.
AndG2532 JesusG2424 went outG1831, and departedG4198 fromG575 the templeG2411: andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to him for to shewG1925 himG846 the buildingsG3619 of the templeG2411.
AndG1161 JesusG2424 saidG2036 unto themG846, See yeG991 notG3756 allG3956 these thingsG5023? verilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, There shallG863 notG3364 be leftG863 hereG5602 one stoneG3037 uponG1909 anotherG3037, thatG3739 shallG2647 notG3364 be thrown downG2647.
AndG1161 as heG846 satG2521 uponG1909 the mountG3735 of OlivesG1636, the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 unto himG846 privatelyG2596+G2398, sayingG3004, TellG2036 usG2254, whenG4219 shallG2071 these thingsG5023 beG2071? andG2532 whatG5101 shall be the signG4592 of thyG4674 comingG3952, andG2532 of the endG4930 of the worldG165?
AndG2532 JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG2036 unto themG846, Take heedG991 that noG3361 manG5100 deceiveG4105 youG5209.
ForG1063 manyG4183 shall comeG2064 inG1909 myG3450 nameG3686, sayingG3004, IG1473 amG1510 ChristG5547; andG2532 shall deceiveG4105 manyG4183.
AndG1161 ye shallG3195 hearG191 of warsG4171 andG2532 rumoursG189 of warsG4171: seeG3708 that ye beG2360 notG3361 troubledG2360: forG1063 allG3956 these things mustG1163 come to passG1096, butG235 the endG5056 isG2076 not yetG3768.
ForG1063 nationG1484 shall riseG1453 againstG1909 nationG1484, andG2532 kingdomG932 againstG1909 kingdomG932: andG2532 there shall beG2071 faminesG3042, andG2532 pestilencesG3061, andG2532 earthquakesG4578, in diversG2596 placesG5117.
AllG1161+G3956 theseG5023 are the beginningG746 of sorrowsG5604.
ThenG5119 shall they deliverG3860 youG5209 upG3860 toG1519 be afflictedG2347, andG2532 shall killG615 youG5209: andG2532 ye shall beG2071 hatedG3404 ofG5259 allG3956 nationsG1484 forG1223 myG3450 name's sakeG3686.
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall manyG4183 be offendedG4624, andG2532 shall betrayG3860 one anotherG240, andG2532 shall hateG3404 one anotherG240.
AndG2532 manyG4183 false prophetsG5578 shall riseG1453, andG2532 shall deceiveG4105 manyG4183.
AndG2532 becauseG1223 iniquityG458 shall aboundG4129, the loveG26 of manyG4183 shall wax coldG5594.
ButG1161 he that shall endureG5278 untoG1519 the endG5056, the sameG3778 shall be savedG4982.
AndG2532 thisG5124 gospelG2098 of the kingdomG932 shall be preachedG2784 inG1722 allG3650 the worldG3625 forG1519 a witnessG3142 unto allG3956 nationsG1484; andG2532 thenG5119 shall the endG5056 comeG2240.
WhenG3752 ye thereforeG3767 shall seeG1492 the abominationG946 of desolationG2050, spoken ofG4483 byG1223 DanielG1158 the prophetG4396, standG2476 inG1722 the holyG40 placeG5117, (whoso readethG314, let him understandG3539:)
ThenG5119 let them which be inG1722 JudaeaG2449 fleeG5343 intoG1909 the mountainsG3735:
Let him which is onG1909 the housetopG1430 notG3361 come downG2597 to takeG142 any thingG5100 out ofG1537 hisG846 houseG3614:
NeitherG3361 let him which is inG1722 the fieldG68 returnG1994 backG3694 to takeG142 hisG846 clothesG2440.
AndG1161 woeG3759 unto them that areG2192 withG1722 childG1064, andG2532 to them that give suckG2337 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250!
ButG1161 pray yeG4336 thatG3363 yourG5216 flightG5437 beG1096 notG3363 in the winterG5494, neitherG3366 onG1722 the sabbath dayG4521:
ForG1063 thenG5119 shall beG2071 greatG3173 tribulationG2347, such asG3634 wasG1096 notG3756 sinceG575 the beginningG746 of the worldG2889 to thisG2193 timeG3568, noG3761, nor everG3364 shall beG1096.
AndG2532 exceptG1508 thoseG1565 daysG2250 should be shortenedG2856, thereG3756 shouldG302 noG3956 fleshG4561 be savedG4982: butG1161 forG1223 the elect's sakeG1588 thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall be shortenedG2856.
ThenG5119 ifG1437 any manG5100 shall sayG2036 unto youG5213, LoG2400, hereG5602 is ChristG5547, orG2228 thereG5602; believeG4100 it notG3361.
ForG1063 there shall ariseG1453 false ChristsG5580, andG2532 false prophetsG5578, andG2532 shall shewG1325 greatG3173 signsG4592 andG2532 wondersG5059; insomuch thatG5620, ifG1487 it were possibleG1415, they shall deceiveG4105 the veryG2532 electG1588.
BeholdG2400, I have toldG4280 youG5213 beforeG4280.
WhereforeG3767 ifG1437 they shall sayG2036 unto youG5213, BeholdG2400, he isG2076 inG1722 the desertG2048; goG1831 notG3361 forthG1831: beholdG2400, he is inG1722 the secret chambersG5009; believeG4100 it notG3361.
ForG1063 asG5618 the lightningG796 comethG1831 out ofG575 the eastG395, andG2532 shinethG5316 even untoG2193 the westG1424; soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ForG1063 wheresoeverG1437+G3699 the carcaseG4430 isG5600, thereG1563 willG4863 the eaglesG105 be gathered togetherG4863.
ImmediatelyG1161+G2112 afterG3326 the tribulationG2347 of thoseG1565 daysG2250 shall the sunG2246 be darkenedG4654, andG2532 the moonG4582 shallG1325 notG3756 giveG1325 herG846 lightG5338, andG2532 the starsG792 shall fallG4098 fromG575 heavenG3772, andG2532 the powersG1411 of the heavensG3772 shall be shakenG4531:
AndG2532 thenG5119 shall appearG5316 the signG4592 of the SonG5207 of manG444 inG1722 heavenG3772: andG2532 thenG5119 shallG2875 allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 mournG2875, andG2532 they shall seeG3700 the SonG5207 of manG444 comingG2064 inG1909 the cloudsG3507 of heavenG3772 withG3326 powerG1411 andG2532 greatG4183 gloryG1391.
AndG2532 he shall sendG649 hisG846 angelsG32 withG3326 a greatG3173 soundG5456 of a trumpetG4536, andG2532 they shall gather togetherG1996 hisG846 electG1588 fromG1537 the fourG5064 windsG417, fromG575 one endG206 of heavenG3772 toG2193 the otherG206+G846. {with…: or, with a trumpet, and a great voice}
NowG1161 learnG3129 a parableG3850 ofG575 the fig treeG4808; WhenG3752 hisG846 branchG2798 isG1096 yetG2235 tenderG527, andG2532 putteth forthG1631 leavesG5444, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 summerG2330 is nighG1451:
SoG3779 likewiseG2532 yeG5210, whenG3752 ye shall seeG1492 allG3956 these thingsG5023, knowG1097 thatG3754 it isG2076 nearG1451, even atG1909 the doorsG2374. {it: or, he}
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThisG3778 generationG1074 shall notG3364 passG3928, tillG302+G2193 allG3956 these thingsG5023 be fulfilledG1096.
HeavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 shall pass awayG3928, butG1161 myG3450 wordsG3056 shallG3928 notG3364 pass awayG3928.
ButG1161 ofG4012 thatG1565 dayG2250 andG2532 hourG5610 knowethG1492 noG3762 man, no, notG3761 the angelsG32 of heavenG3772, butG1508 myG3450 FatherG3962 onlyG3441.
ButG1161 asG5618 the daysG2250 of NoeG3575 were, soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ForG1063 asG5618 inG1722 the daysG2250 that wereG2258 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 andG2532 drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 andG2532 giving in marriageG1547, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 NoeG3575 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the arkG2787,
AndG2532 knewG1097 notG3756 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064, andG2532 tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ThenG5119 shallG2071 twoG1417 beG2071 inG1722 the fieldG68; the oneG1520 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG1520 leftG863.
TwoG1417 women shall be grindingG229 atG1722 the millG3459; the oneG3391 shall be takenG3880, andG2532 the otherG3391 leftG863.
WatchG1127 thereforeG3767: forG3754 ye knowG1492 notG3756 whatG4169 hourG5610 yourG5216 LordG2962 doth comeG2064.
ButG1161 knowG1097 thisG1565, thatG3754 ifG1487 the goodman of the houseG3617 had knownG1492 in whatG4169 watchG5438 the thiefG2812 would comeG2064, he wouldG302 have watchedG1127, andG2532 wouldG302 notG3756 have sufferedG1439 hisG846 houseG3614 to be broken upG1358.
ThereforeG1223+G5124 beG1096 yeG5210 alsoG2532 readyG2092: forG3754 in suchG3739 an hourG5610 as ye thinkG1380 notG3756 the SonG5207 of manG444 comethG2064.
WhoG5101 thenG686 isG2076 a faithfulG4103 andG2532 wiseG5429 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 hath made rulerG2525 overG1909 hisG846 householdG2322, to giveG1325 themG846 meatG5160 inG1722 due seasonG2540?
BlessedG3107 is thatG1565 servantG1401, whomG3739 hisG846 lordG2962 when he comethG2064 shall findG2147 soG3779 doingG4160.
VerilyG281 I sayG3004 unto youG5213, ThatG3754 he shall makeG2525 himG846 rulerG2525 overG1909 allG3956 hisG846 goodsG5224.
But andG1161 ifG1437 thatG1565 evilG2556 servantG1401 shall sayG2036 inG1722 hisG846 heartG2588, MyG3450 lordG2962 delayethG5549 his comingG2064;
AndG2532 shall beginG756 to smiteG5180 his fellowservantsG4889, andG1161 to eatG2068 andG2532 drinkG4095 withG3326 the drunkenG3184;
The lordG2962 of thatG1565 servantG1401 shall comeG2240 inG1722 a dayG2250 whenG3739 he lookethG4328 notG3756 for him, andG2532 inG1722 an hourG5610 thatG3739 he isG1097 notG3756 aware ofG1097,
AndG2532 shall cutG1371 himG846 asunderG1371, andG2532 appointG5087 him hisG846 portionG3313 withG3326 the hypocritesG5273: thereG1563 shall beG2071 weepingG2805 andG2532 gnashingG1030 of teethG3599. {cut…: or, cut him off}
NowG1161 when they had passed throughG1353 AmphipolisG295 andG2532 ApolloniaG624, they cameG2064 toG1519 ThessalonicaG2332, whereG3699 wasG2258 a synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453:
AndG1161 PaulG3972, asG2596 his manner wasG1486, went inG1525 untoG4314 themG846, andG2532+G1909 threeG5140 sabbathG4521 days reasonedG1256 with themG846 out ofG575 the scripturesG1124,
OpeningG1272 andG2532 allegingG3908, thatG3754 ChristG5547 must needsG1163 have sufferedG3958, andG2532 risen againG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498; andG2532 thatG3754 thisG3778 JesusG2424, whomG3739 IG1473 preachG2605 unto youG5213, isG2076 ChristG5547. {whom…: or, whom, said he, I preach}
AndG2532 someG5100 ofG1537 themG846 believedG3982, andG2532 consortedG4345 with PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609; andG5037 of the devoutG4576 GreeksG1672 a greatG4183 multitudeG4128, andG5037 of the chiefG4413 womenG1135 notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 the JewsG2453 which believed notG544, moved with envyG2206+G2532, took unto themG4355 certainG5100 lewdG4190 fellowsG435 of the baser sortG60, andG2532 gathered a companyG3792, and set allG2350 the cityG4172 on an uproarG2350, andG5037 assaultedG2186 the houseG3614 of JasonG2394, and soughtG2212 to bringG71 themG846 outG1519 to the peopleG1218.
AndG1161 when they foundG2147 themG846 notG3361, they drewG4951 JasonG2394 andG2532 certainG5100 brethrenG80 untoG1909 the rulers of the cityG4173, cryingG994+G3754, TheseG3778 that have turnedG387 the worldG3625 upside downG387 are comeG3918 hitherG1759 alsoG2532;
WhomG3739 JasonG2394 hath receivedG5264: andG2532 theseG3778 allG3956 doG4238 contraryG561 to the decreesG1378 of CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that there isG1511 anotherG2087 kingG935, one JesusG2424.
AndG1161 they troubledG5015 the peopleG3793 andG2532 the rulers of the cityG4173, when they heardG191 these thingsG5023.
AndG2532 when they had takenG2983 securityG2425 ofG3844 JasonG2394, andG2532 of the otherG3062, they letG630 themG846 goG630.
AndG1161 the brethrenG80 immediatelyG2112 sent awayG1599+G5037 PaulG3972 andG2532 SilasG4609 byG1223 nightG3571 untoG1519 BereaG960: whoG3748 comingG3854 thither wentG549 intoG1519 the synagogueG4864 of the JewsG2453.
TheseG3778 wereG2258 more nobleG2104 than those inG1722 ThessalonicaG2332, in that theyG3748 receivedG1209 the wordG3056 withG3326 allG3956 readiness of mindG4288, and searchedG350 the scripturesG1124 dailyG2250+G2596, whetherG1487 those thingsG5023 wereG2192 soG3779.
ThereforeG3767+G3303 manyG4183 ofG1537 themG846 believedG4100; alsoG2532 of honourableG2158 womenG1135 whichG3588 were GreeksG1674, andG2532 of menG435, notG3756 a fewG3641.
ButG1161 whenG5613 the JewsG2453 ofG575 ThessalonicaG2332 had knowledgeG1097 thatG3754+G2532 the wordG3056 of GodG2316 was preachedG2605 ofG5259 PaulG3972 atG1722 BereaG960, they cameG2064 thither alsoG2546, and stirred upG4531 the peopleG3793.
AndG1161 thenG5119 immediatelyG2112 the brethrenG80 sent awayG1821 PaulG3972 to goG4198 as it wereG5613 toG1909 the seaG2281: butG1161+G5037 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 abodeG5278 thereG1563 stillG5278.
AndG1161 they that conductedG2525 PaulG3972 broughtG71 himG846 untoG2193 AthensG116: andG2532 receivingG2983 a commandmentG1785 untoG4314 SilasG4609 andG2532 TimotheusG5095 for toG2443 comeG2064 toG4314 himG846 with all speedG5613+G5033, they departedG1826.
NowG1161 while PaulG3972 waited forG1551 themG846 atG1722 AthensG116, hisG846 spiritG4151 was stirredG3947 inG1722 himG846, when he sawG2334 the cityG4172 wholly givenG5607 to idolatryG2712. {wholly…: or, full of idols}
ThereforeG3767+G3303 disputed heG1256 inG1722 the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, andG2532 with the devout personsG4576, andG2532 inG1722 the marketG58 dailyG2596+G3956+G2250 withG4314 them that met with himG3909.
ThenG1161 certainG5100 philosophersG5386 of the EpicureansG1946, andG2532 of the StoicksG4770, encounteredG4820 himG846. AndG2532 someG5100 saidG3004, WhatG5101 willG302+G2309 thisG3778 babblerG4691 sayG3004+G1161? other some, He seemethG1380 to beG1511 a setter forthG2604 of strangeG3581 godsG1140: becauseG3754 he preachedG2097 unto themG846 JesusG2424, andG2532 the resurrectionG386. {babbler: or, base fellow}
AndG5037 they tookG1949 himG846, and brought himG71 untoG1909 AreopagusG697, sayingG3004, MayG1410 we knowG1097 whatG5101 thisG3778 newG2537 doctrineG1322, whereofG5259 thouG4675 speakestG2980, is? {Areopagus: or, Mars-hill: it was the highest court in Athens}
ForG1063 thou bringestG1533 certainG5100 strange thingsG3579 toG1519 ourG2257 earsG189: we wouldG1014 knowG1097 thereforeG3767 whatG5101 these thingsG5023 meanG302+G2309+G1511.
(ForG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 strangersG3581 whichG3588 were thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 inG1519 nothingG3762 elseG2087, but eitherG2228 to tellG3004, orG2532 to hearG191 someG5100 new thingG2537.)
ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 inG1722 the midstG3319 of Mars' hillG697, and saidG5346, Ye menG435 of AthensG117, I perceiveG2334 thatG5613 inG2596 all thingsG3956 yeG5209 are too superstitiousG1174. {Mars' hill: or, court of the Areopagites}
ForG1063 as I passed byG1330, andG2532 beheldG333 yourG5216 devotionsG4574+G2532, I foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG1722+G3739 inscriptionG1924, TO THE UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316. WhomG3739 thereforeG3767 ye ignorantlyG50 worshipG2151, himG5126 declareG2605 IG1473 unto youG5213. {devotions: or, gods that ye worship}
GodG2316 that madeG4160 the worldG2889 andG2532 all thingsG3956 thereinG1722+G846, seeing that heG3778 isG5225 LordG2962 of heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093, dwellethG2730 notG3756 inG1722 templesG3485 made with handsG5499;
NeitherG3761 is worshippedG2323 withG5259 men'sG444 handsG5495, as though he neededG4326 any thingG5100, seeing heG846 givethG1325 to allG3956 lifeG2222, andG2532 breathG4157, andG2596 all thingsG3956;
AndG5037 hath madeG4160 ofG1537 oneG1520 bloodG129 allG3956 nationsG1484 of menG444 for to dwellG2730 onG1909 allG3956 the faceG4383 of the earthG1093, and hath determinedG3724 the timesG2540 before appointedG4384, andG2532 the boundsG3734 of theirG846 habitationG2733;
That they should seekG2212 the LordG2962, ifG1487 haplyG686 they might feelG5584 after himG846, andG2532 find himG2147, thoughG2544 he beG5225 notG3756 farG3112 fromG575 everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257:
ForG1063 inG1722 himG846 we liveG2198, andG2532 moveG2795, andG2532 have our beingG2070; asG5613 certainG5100 alsoG2532 of yourG5209 ownG2596 poetsG4163 have saidG2046, ForG1063 we areG2070 alsoG2532 hisG5120 offspringG1085.
Forasmuch thenG3767 as we areG5225 the offspringG1085 of GodG2316, we oughtG3784 notG3756 to thinkG3543 that the GodheadG2304 isG1511 likeG3664 unto goldG5557, orG2228 silverG696, orG2228 stoneG3037, gravenG5480 by artG5078 andG2532 man'sG444 deviceG1761.
AndG3303+G3767 the timesG5550 of this ignoranceG52 GodG2316 winked atG5237; but nowG3569 commandethG3853 allG3956 menG444 every whereG3837 to repentG3340:
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
AndG1161 when they heardG191 of the resurrectionG386 of the deadG3498, someG3303 mockedG5512: andG1161 others saidG2036, We will hearG191 theeG4675 againG3825 ofG4012 thisG5127 matter.
SoG2532+G3779 PaulG3972 departedG1831 fromG1537 amongG3319 themG846.
HowbeitG1161 certainG5100 menG435 claveG2853 unto himG846, and believedG4100: amongG1722 the whichG3739+G2532 was DionysiusG1354 the AreopagiteG698, andG2532 a womanG1135 namedG3686 DamarisG1152, andG2532 othersG2087 withG4862 themG846.
