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; 44:017:025 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 44:017:026 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; 44:017:027 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: 44:017:028 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. 44:017:029 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. 44:017:030 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 44:017:031 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. 44:017:032 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. 44:017:033 So Paul departed from among them. 44:017:034 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. 44:018:001 After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 44:018:002 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 44:018:003 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers. 44:018:004 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 44:018:005 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
