(22)And Paul, standing in the midst of Mars' Hill, said: Men of Athens, in all things I perceive that ye are very devout. (23)For as I passed by, and observed your objects of worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore, not knowing, ye worship, him I announce to you. (24)The God who made the world and all things therein, he being Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; (25)nor is ministered to by human hands, as if needing anything more, himself giving to all life, and breath, and all things. (26)And he made of one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having fixed the appointed seasons and bounds of their habitation; (27)that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, although he is not far from every one of us; (28)for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as also some of your own poets have said: For his offspring also are we. (29)Being therefore God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like to gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. (30)The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked; but now, commands all men everywhere to repent. (31)Because he fixed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by the man whom he appointed, having given assurance to all by raising him from the dead. (32)And when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some mocked; and others said: We will hear thee again of this matter. (33)And thus Paul departed from among them. (34)But certain ones, joining themselves to him, believed; among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them. XVIII. AFTER these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth. (2)And finding a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife (because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome), he came to them; (3)and because he was of the same trade, he abode with them, and labored; for by their occupation they were tentmakers. (4)And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks. (5)And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was engrossed with the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. (6)But they opposing themselves and blaspheming, he shook out his garments and said to them: Your blood be upon your own head; I am clean; from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles. (7)And departing thence he entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue. (8)And Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were immersed.
