44:017:008 And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when
           they heard these things.

44:017:009 And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other,
           they let them go.

44:017:010 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night
           unto Berea:  who coming thither went into the synagogue of the
           Jews.

44:017:011 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.

44:017:012 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women
           which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

44:017:013 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.

44:017:014 And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it
           were to the sea:  but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.

44:017:015 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.

44:017:016 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
           stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.

44:017:017 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.

44:017:018 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.

44:017:019 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May
           we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?

44:017:020 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears:  we would
           know therefore what these things mean.

44:017:021 (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.)

44:017:022 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.

44:017:023 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.

44:017:024 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;
