ON TO THESSALONIKEE
And passing through Amphipolis and Apollonia they come to Thessalonikee; where there is a synagogue of the Yah Hudiym: 2 and as his custom, Paulos comes to them, and for three shabbaths reasons with them from the scriptures 3 - opening and setting forth that the Messiah needed to suffer and rise from the dead; and that this Yah Shua whom I evangelize to you, is the Messiah. 4 And some of them confide and associate with Paulos and Silas - with a vast multitude of the venerating Hellenes and of the preeminent women not a few: 5 but the distrusting Yah Hudiym, being zealous, take some evil men to them - forum debaters, and assemble a multitude and tumult the city; and stand by the house of Jason and seek to bring them out to the public. 6 And when they find them not, they drag Jason and some brothers to the politarchees, crying, These who rouse the world are present also 7 - whom Jason received: and these all transact contrary to the dogmas of the Kaisar - wording that there is another sovereign, Yah Shua. 8 And when they hear these they agitate the multitude and the politarchees: 9 And taking sufficient from Jason and from the rest, they release them. 10
ON TO BEREA
And straightway through the night the brothers dispatch Paulos and Silas to Berea: who come and enter the synagogue of the Yah Hudiym 11 - these are more well-birthed than those in Thessalonikee - in that they receive the word with all eagerness and examine the scriptures daily - whether they be thus. 12 So indeed many of them trust; also of well-respected women Hellenists; and of men not a few. 13 But when the Yah Hudiym of Thessalonikee know that the word of Elohim is evangelized by Paulos at Berea, they come there and shake the multitude: 14 and straightway the brothers apostolize Paulos to go, as upon the sea: and Silas and Timo Theos still abide there. 15
ON TO ATHENS
And they who seat Paulos bring him to Athens: and take a misvah to Silas and Timo Theos to come to him most quickly, and they depart. 16 But Paulos awaits them at Athens; and his spirit agitates within him when he observes the city being downright idolatrous: 17 so indeed he reasons in the synagogue with the Yah Hudiym and with the venerating persons and daily in the market with those meeting with him. 18 But some philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoicks encounter him: and some speak, What wills this spermalogist to word? and some others, He thinks well to be an evangelizer of strange demons - because he evangelizes Yah Shua and the resurrection to them. 19 And they take him and bring him to Areopagus, wording, Can we know this new doctrine whereof you speak? 20 For you bear somewhat strange to our hearing: so we will to know what these will to mean. 21 - for all the Asoians and strangers residing there leisure in none other, than either to word, or to hear somewhat new. 22
THE AREOPAGUS MESSAGE OF PAULOS
And Paulos stands midst Areopagus, and says, Men - Asoians, I observe that in all you are demon-dreaders. 23 For as I passed through and considered your objects of reverence, I found a bamah epigraphed, TO THE UNKNOWN EL - so whom you unknowingly revere, I evangelize to you. 24 Elohim, who made the cosmos and all therein, this one being Adonay of the heavens and earth, neither settles in handmade naves 25 nor is cured by human hands - as though he needed aught; seeing he gives life and puffing and all to all; 26 and also made of one blood all goyim of humanity to settle on all the face of the earth; and decreed the times and prearranged the seasons and the boundaries of their settlement; 27 to seek Yah Veh - if then indeed, to touch him and to find him - though he is not far from each one of us: Isaiah 55:6 28 for in him we live and stir and be; as some also of your own poets say, For we are also his genos. 29 So, being of the genos of Elohim, we are indebted to not presume that the likeness of Elohim is likened to gold or silver or stone etched by human techniques and deliberations. 30 So indeed Elohim overlooked the times of this unknowingness; but now evangelizes all humanity every where to repent: 31 because he set a day, in which he is about to judge the world in justness by a man whom he decreed; having presented trust to all, in that he raised him from the dead. 32 And they hear of the resurrection of the dead, and indeed, some jeer: and others say, We hear you again concerning this. 33 And thus Paulos departs from among them: 34 howbeit some men join him, and trust: among whom is Dionysius the Areopagiy and a woman named Damaris and others with them.
