And they passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia the city and came to Tesaloniqa, where there was a synagogue of the Yehudaye.

And Paulos went in to them as he was accustomed, and for three shabbats he spoke with them from the writings;

while he was explaining and showing that the Mashiyach was destined to suffer and to rise from the house of the dead, and that this is Y'shua the Mashiyach whom I announce to you.

And some of them believed and joined Paulos and Shila, and many of the Yawnaye who feared Elohim, and also known women, not a few.

And the Yehudaye were jealous and gathered to themselves evil men from the marketplace of the city and made a great mob, and they troubled the city and came and stood against the house of Jason and were seeking to bring them out from there and deliver them to the mob.

And when they did not find them there, they dragged Jason and the brothers who were there and brought them to the chiefs of the city, crying out: These are they who have troubled all the earth, and they have come here also.

And this Jason is their host, and all these stand against the commands of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Y'shua.

And the chiefs of the city and all the people were troubled when they heard these things.

And they took sureties from Jason and also from the brothers, and then they released them.

But the brothers at once in that night sent Paulos and Shila to the city of Berua, and when they came there they were entering the synagogue of the Yehudaye.

For those Yehudaye there were more noble than those Yehudaye who were in Tesaloniga, and they were hearing the word from them every day gladly, while they were examining from the writings whether these things were so.

And many of them believed, and so also of the Yawnaye many men and notable women.

And when those Jews from Tesaloníqa knew that the word of Elohim was proclaimed by Paulos in the city of Beroya, they came also there and did not cease to stir up and to trouble the people.

And the brothers sent Paulos away, that he might go down to the sea. And Shila and Timotheos stayed in that city.

And those who accompanied Paulos came with him as far as the city of Athens. And when they went out from beside him, they received a letter from him to Shila and Timotheos, that they should come to him quickly.

But Paulos, while he was waiting for them in Athens, was provoked in his spirit when he saw that the whole city was full of idols.

And he was speaking in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who fear Elohim, and in the marketplace with those who were assembling every day.

And also philosophers from the teaching of Epicurus and others who are called Stoics were disputing with him. And some of them were saying, What does this word-collector want? And others were saying, He proclaims foreign gods, because he was proclaiming Y'shua and his resurrection to them.

And they took him and brought him to the house of judgment that is called Arios Pagos, saying to him: We can know what this new teaching is that you proclaim.

For you sow foreign words in our hearing, and we want to know what these are.

But all the Athenians and the foreigners who come there care for nothing else but to say and to hear something new.

And when Paulos stood in Arios Pagos he said: Men, Athenians, I see that in all things you are excessive in the fear of demons.

For as I was going around and viewing the houses of your fear, I found one altar on which was written, To the hidden Elohim. Him therefore whom you fear while you do not know him, this one I announce to you.

For Elohim who made the world and all that is in it, and who is master of heaven and of earth, does not dwell in a temple made by hands.

And he is not served by human hands, and he needs nothing, because he gives life and breath to everyone.

And from one blood he made the whole world of humans, that they might dwell on the face of all the earth; and he marked off the times by his command and set the bounds of the dwelling of humans,

that they might seek Elohim and search, and from his creation find him, because he is not far from each one of us;

for in him we live and move and exist, as also some of the wise men among you have said: From him is our lineage.

People, then, whose lineage is from Elohim, we ought not to suppose that the divinity is like gold or silver or stone carved by the craft and knowledge of a human.

For the times of error Elohim has made to pass, and in this time he commands all humans that every person in every place should repent.

Because he has appointed a day in which he is about to judge all the earth in righteousness by the man whom he has designated, and he has turned every person to faith in him by raising him from the house of the dead.

And when they heard the resurrection from the house of the dead, some of them were mocking, and some of them were saying, At another time we will hear you about this.

And so Paulos went out from among them.

And some persons from them joined him and believed; one of them was Dionysius from the judges of Areopagus, and a woman whose name was Damaris, and others with them.
