Acts 17:12-16 in English

¹² Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.

¹⁴ And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.

¹⁵ But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols.

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.

¹⁵ But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him, as he beheld the city full of idols.

¹² As a result, many of the Jewish people believed in Jesus, and also some of the important non-Jewish women and many non-Jewish men believed in him.

¹³ But then the Jews in Thessalonica heard people tell them that Paul was in Berea and that he was preaching the message from God about Jesus. So they went to Berea and told people there that what Paul was teaching was not true. Thus, they caused many of those people to get angry at Paul.

¹⁴ So several of the believers in Berea took Paul to the coast to go to another province. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.

¹⁵ When Paul and the other men from Berea arrived at the coast, they got on a ship and went to Athens city. Then Paul said to the men who had come with him, “Tell Silas and Timothy to come to me here in Athens as soon as they can.” Then those men left Athens and returned to Berea.

¹⁶ In Athens, Paul waited for Silas and Timothy to arrive. In the meantime, he walked around in the city. He became very distressed/disturbed because he saw that throughout HYP the city there were many idols.

¹² Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

¹⁴ Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

¹⁵ But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

¹⁴ Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

¹⁵ But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

¹⁵ But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

¹² And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica had news that Paul was preaching the word at Beroea, they came there, troubling the people and working them up.

¹⁴ So the brothers sent Paul straight away to the sea: but Silas and Timothy kept there still.

¹⁵ But those who went with Paul took him as far as Athens, and then went away, with orders from him to Silas and Timothy to come to him quickly.

¹⁶ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was troubled, for he saw all the town full of images of the gods.

¹² Therefore many from among them believed, and of Grecian women of the upper classes and men not a few.

¹³ But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God was announced in Berea also by Paul, they came there also, stirring up the crowds.

¹⁴ And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as to the sea; but Silas and Timotheus abode there.

¹⁵ But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and, having received a commandment to Silas and Timotheus, that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they departed.

¹⁶ But in Athens, while Paul was waiting for them, his spirit was painfully excited in him seeing the city given up to idolatry.

¹² And many indeed of them believed, and of honourable women that were Gentiles, and of men not a few.

¹³ And when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was also preached by Paul at Berea, they came thither also, stirring up and troubling the multitude.

¹⁴ And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul, to go unto the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵ And they that conducted Paul, brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy, that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

¹⁶ Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry.

¹² Therefore many of them believed, and not a few of the prominent Greek women and men.

¹³ But when the Jews from Thessalonica found out that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came there also, agitating the crowds.

¹⁴ Then immediately the brothers sent Paul away to go toward the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵ Now those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy, that as quickly as possible they should come to him, they departed.

¹⁶ And in Athens, while Paul waited for them, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was full of idols.

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 also being proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came too, agitating the crowds.

¹⁴ So then, without delay, the brothers sent Paul away, as if to go by sea, while both Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵ But those who were conducting Paul actually took him all the way to Athens; and receiving a command to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him as quickly as possible, they started back.

¹⁶ Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was increasingly aroused within him as he observed that the city was full of idols.

¹² As a result many of them became believers, along with some highly-placed Greek women and men.

¹³ But when the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was also spreading the word of God in Berea, they went there and caused the same kind of trouble, stirring up the crowds.

¹⁴ Immediately the believers sent Paul to the coast, while Silas and Timothy remained behind.

¹⁵ Those escorting Paul took him as far as Athens, and then returned with instructions from Paul to Silas and Timothy that they should join him there as soon as possible.

¹⁶ While Paul was waiting for them in Athens he was very troubled to see all the idolatry in the city.

¹² Therefore many of them beleeued, and of honest women, which were Grecians, and men not a fewe.

¹³ But when the Iewes of Thessalonica knewe, that the woord of God was also preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and mooued the people.

¹⁴ But by and by the brethren sent away Paul to goe as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

¹⁵ And they that did conduct Paul, brought him vnto Athens: and when they had receiued a commandement vnto Silas and Timotheus that they shoulde come to him at once, they departed.

¹⁶ Nowe while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirite was stirred in him, when hee sawe the citie subiect to idolatrie.

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.

¹² Many of them therefore believed; and of the Grecian women of rank and men, not a few.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica knew that at Beroea, too, the word of God was preached by Paul, they came hither also, and stirred up the multitudes.

¹⁴ And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go to the sea; but Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵ And they who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and having received a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

¹⁶ Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols.

¹² As a consequence, many of them became believers in Christ, besides a considerable number of Greek women of position, and of men also.

¹³ But, when the Jewish leaders in Thessalonica found out that God's message had been delivered by Paul at Beroea, they came there too, exciting and disturbing the minds of the people.

¹⁴ The followers immediately arranged for Paul to go away to the coast, but both Silas and Timothy stayed behind in Beroea.

¹⁵ The friends who escorted Paul took him as far as Athens, and, after receiving a message for Silas and Timothy to join him as quickly as possible, they started on their return.

¹⁶ While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.

¹⁶ While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.

¹² So a lot of those Jewish people believed in Jesus, and some of the important women and men that were not Jews believed in Jesus too.

¹³ But the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul was in Berea telling people God’s message about Jesus. Then they got up and went to Berea and made trouble for Paul, and got a lot of other people to make trouble too.

¹⁴ So some of the Christian men in Berea took Paul out of that town. They went down to the sea, and they all got on a ship and went to the town called Athens. But Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea.

¹⁵ Then Paul said to the men that took him to Athens, “As soon as you get back to Berea tell Silas and Timothy to come to me here. Tell them to hurry and come here as soon as they can.” Then those men left Athens and went back to Berea.

¹⁶ Paul was in Athens waiting for Silas and Timothy to come, and he walked around in that town. He saw a lot of statues everywhere, and he saw that people thought they were gods. They respected them and prayed to them. This upset Paul a lot.

¹² And many of the beleved: also of worshipfull weme which were Grekes and of men not afeawe.

¹³ When the Iewes of Thessalonia had knowledge that the worde of God was preached of Paul at Berrea they came there and moved the people.

¹⁴ And then by and by the brethren sent awaye Paul to goo as it were to ye see: but Sylas and Timotheus abode there still.

¹⁶ Whyll Paul wayted for them at Attens his sprete was moved in him to se the cite geven to worshippinge of ymages.

¹² Therefore many of them believed, including some influential Greek women and many men.

¹³ But when the Jews of Thessalonica learned that Paul was also proclaiming the word of God at Berea, they went there and stirred up and troubled the crowds.

¹⁴ Then immediately, the brothers sent Paul to go to the sea, but Silas and Timothy stayed there.

¹⁵ Those who were leading Paul took him as far as the city of Athens. As they left Paul there, they received from him instructions for Silas and Timothy to come to him as quickly as possible.

¹⁶ Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.
