In Thessalonica

17 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica,(A) where there was a Jewish synagogue. As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,(B) and on three Sabbath(C) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,(D) explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer(E) and rise from the dead.(F) “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,”(G) he said. Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,(H) as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

But other Jews were jealous; so they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob and started a riot in the city.(I) They rushed to Jason’s(J) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] But when they did not find them, they dragged(K) Jason and some other believers(L) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(M) have now come here,(N) and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”(O) When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. Then they made Jason(P) and the others post bond and let them go.

In Berea

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas(Q) away to Berea.(R) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.(S) 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica,(T) for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures(U) every day to see if what Paul said was true.(V) 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.(W)

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,(X) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers(Y) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas(Z) and Timothy(AA) stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens(AB) and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.(AC)

In Athens

16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue(AD) with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. 18 A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news(AE) about Jesus and the resurrection.(AF) 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus,(AG) where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching(AH) is that you are presenting? 20 You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” 21 (All the Athenians(AI) and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.)

22 Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus(AJ) and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.(AK) 23 For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: to an unknown god. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship(AL)—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it(AM) is the Lord of heaven and earth(AN) and does not live in temples built by human hands.(AO) 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.(AP) 26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.(AQ) 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.(AR) 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b](AS) As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’[c]

29 “Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill.(AT) 30 In the past God overlooked(AU) such ignorance,(AV) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.(AW) 31 For he has set a day when he will judge(AX) the world with justice(AY) by the man he has appointed.(AZ) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”(BA)

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,(BB) some of them sneered, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this subject.” 33 At that, Paul left the Council. 34 Some of the people became followers of Paul and believed. Among them was Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus,(BC) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.

Sa Tesalonica

17 Nag-agi sila sa Amfipolis kag sa Apolonia hasta nakaabot sila sa Tesalonica. Didto sa Tesalonica may simbahan sang mga Judio. Kag suno sa kinabatasan ni Pablo, nagsulod siya sa ila simbahan, kag sa sulod sang tatlo ka Adlaw nga Inugpahuway, nagdiskusyon siya sa mga tawo didto. Ang Kasulatan amo ang iya gin-gamit agod pamatud-an sa ila nga ang Cristo kinahanglan gid nga mag-antos kag mabanhaw. Nagsiling si Pablo, “Ining Jesus nga akon ginasugid sa inyo amo ang Cristo.” Ang iban sa ila nagtuo sa ginhambal ni Pablo, kag nagsunod sila kay Pablo kag kay Silas. Madamo man nga mga Griego nga nagasimba sa Dios kag kilala nga mga babayi ang nag-upod sa ila.

Karon, nahisa ang mga lider sang mga Judio. Gani gintipon nila ang mga bugoy nga mga istambay. Kag sang madamo na ang ila natipon, nagsugod sila panggamo sa bug-os nga siyudad. Gin-gubat nila ang balay ni Jason sa pagpangita kay Pablo kag kay Silas agod madala sila sa atubangan sang mga tawo. Pero sang wala nila makita si Pablo kag si Silas, gindakop nila si Jason kag ang iban pa nga mga tumuluo. Gin-guyod nila sila pakadto sa mga opisyal sang siyudad kag nagasinggit sila, “Ining mga tawo nagadala sing gamo bisan diin sila magkadto tungod sang ila mga ginatudlo. Kag karon ari na sila sa aton siyudad. Ginpadayon pa sila ni Jason sa iya balay. Ini sila tanan nagakontra sa mga kasuguan sang Emperador tungod nga nagasiling sila nga may isa pa ka hari nga ang iya ngalan si Jesus.” Pagkabati sadto sang mga tawo kag sang mga opisyal, nagginamo sila. Sa wala pa nila mabuy-i si Jason kag ang iya mga kaupod, ginpabayad anay sila sang piansa.

Sa Berea

10 Pagkagab-i, ginpadala sang mga tumuluo si Pablo kag si Silas sa Berea. Pag-abot nila didto, nagkadto sila sa simbahan sang mga Judio. 11 Mas bukas ang hunahuna sang mga tawo sa Berea sang sa mga tawo sa Tesalonica. Dako gid ang ila luyag sa pagpamati sang ginatudlo nila ni Pablo. Kag adlaw-adlaw sige ang ila usisa sang Kasulatan agod tan-awon kon matuod gid bala ang mga ginapanghambal nila ni Pablo. 12 Madamo sa ila ang nagtuo pati ang mga lalaki kag mga kilala nga mga babayi nga Griego. 13 Pero pagkabati sang mga Judio sa Tesalonica nga nagwali man si Pablo sang pulong sang Dios didto sa Berea, nagkadto sila didto kag ginsutsot ang mga tawo sa paggamo. 14 Gani gindul-ong dayon sang mga tumuluo si Pablo sa baybay. Pero si Silas iya kag si Timoteo nagpabilin sa Berea. 15 Ang mga tawo nga nagdul-ong kay Pablo nag-upod sa iya hasta sa Atens. Dayon nagbalik sila sa Berea nga may tugon halin kay Pablo nga si Silas kag si Timoteo maapas lang dayon sa iya sa Atens.

Sa Atens

16 Samtang nagahulat si Pablo kay Silas kag kay Timoteo didto sa Atens, nakita niya nga madamo gid ang ila mga dios-dios. Natublag gid siya. 17 Gani nagsulod siya sa simbahan sang mga Judio kag nagpakigdiskusyon sa ila kag sa mga indi Judio nga nagasimba man sa Dios. Adlaw-adlaw didto siya sa plasa nga nagapakigdiskusyon sa mga tawo nga iya masugata. 18 May duha ka klase sang mga manunudlo ang nagpakigdiskusyon kay Pablo. Ang isa ginatawag mga Epicureo, kag ang isa mga Estoico.[a] Nagsiling ang iban sa ila, “Ano ayhan ang ginawakal sang tikalon nga ini?” Ang iban nagsiling, “Daw lain man nga mga dios ang iya ginawali.” Amo ini ang ila ginsiling tungod nga nagawali si Pablo parte kay Jesus kag sa iya pagkabanhaw. 19 Gani gindala nila si Pablo sa Areopagus, ang tilipunan sang mga pangulo sang banwa. Nagsiling sila sa iya, “Gusto namon nga mahibaluan ang bag-o nga pagtulun-an nga imo ginawali. 20 Kay may lain ka nga mga butang nga ginatudlo nga bag-o sa amon, gani gusto namon mahibaluan kon ano ina nga mga butang.” 21 (Amo ini ang ila ginhambal tungod nga ang mga taga-Atens kag ang mga taga-iban nga lugar nga didto na nagaestar wala sing iban nga naluyagan kundi ang magdiskusyon parte sa bag-o nga mga pagpanudlo.)

22 Gani nagtindog si Pablo sa atubangan sang mga tawo nga nagatipon didto sa Areopagus kag nagsiling, “Mga taga-Atens! Nakita ko nga kamo relihiyuso gid nga mga tawo. 23 Kay sa akon paglibot diri sa inyo siyudad nakita ko ang inyo mga ginasimba. May nakita pa ako nga halaran nga may nasulat nga nagasiling, ‘Sa wala pa makilala nga Dios.’ Ining Dios nga inyo ginasimba nga wala pa ninyo makilala amo ang Dios nga akon ginawali sa inyo. 24 Amo ini ang Dios nga nagtuga sang kalibutan kag sang tanan nga ara sa kalibutan. Siya ang Ginoo nga tag-iya sang langit kag duta, gani wala siya nagapuyo sa mga templo nga ginhimo sang mga tawo. 25 Wala man siya nagakinahanglan sang bulig nga halin sa mga tawo tungod nga siya mismo ang nagahatag sang kabuhi sa aton, pati sang tanan ta nga mga kinahanglanon. 26 Halin sa isa lang ka tawo, ginhimo niya ang tanan nga lahi sang mga tawo kag ginpalapta sa bug-os nga kalibutan. Ginplano man niya sang una pa ang mga dulunan kon diin maestar ang mga tawo pati ang tion nga sila magakabuhi diri. 27 Ini tanan ginhimo sang Dios agod kita nga mga tawo magpangita sa iya, kag basi pa lang nga makita ta man siya. Pero ang matuod, ang Dios indi malayo sa aton, 28 kay

‘tungod sa iya gahom nagakabuhi kita kag nagahulag.’

Pareho man sang ginsiling sang iban ninyo nga mga manugbinalaybay,

‘Kita matuod mga anak niya.’

29 Gani, tungod nga kita mga anak sang Dios, indi kita maghunahuna nga ang Dios pareho sang dios-dios nga bulawan, ukon pilak, ukon bato, nga puro imbinto sang hunahuna kag kamot sang tawo. 30 Sang una, sang wala pa makakilala ang mga tawo sa Dios, wala niya pagsapaka ang ila mga sala. Pero subong ginasugo sang Dios ang tanan nga tawo sa tanan nga lugar nga maghinulsol na kag bayaan ang ila malain nga mga ginahimo. 31 Kay may adlaw nga ginpili ang Dios nga hukman niya sing matarong ang tanan nga tawo diri sa kalibutan paagi sa tawo nga iya ginpili. Ginpamatud-an niya ini sa tanan paagi sa iya pagbanhaw sang amo nga tawo.”

32 Pagkabati nila nga nagahambal si Pablo parte sa pagkabanhaw, ang iban sa ila nagyaguta sa iya. Pero ang iban nagsiling, “Balik ka diri tungod nga gusto namon nga magpamati pa gid sa imo parte sa sini nga mga butang.” 33 Pagkatapos naghalin si Pablo sa ila ginatipunan. 34 Ang iban nga mga lalaki nagdampig sa iya kag nagtuo kay Jesus. Ang isa sa ila amo si Dionisius nga miyembro sang Areopagus; kag may babayi man nga si Damaris, kag may iban pa gid.

  1. 17:18 Epicureo… Estoico: Tan-awa ang Lista sang mga Pulong sa likod.

17 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:

And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,

Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.

And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.

But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.

And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;

Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.

And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.

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

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

11 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.

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.

17 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.

18 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.

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

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

21 (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.)

22 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.

23 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.

24 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;

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 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;

27 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:

28 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.

29 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.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 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.

32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

33 So Paul departed from among them.

34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

帖撒羅尼迦的騷動

17 保羅西拉經過暗妃坡里亞波羅尼亞,來到帖撒羅尼迦,在那裏有猶太人的會堂。 保羅照他素常的規矩進去,一連三個安息日,根據聖經與他們辯論, 講解和說明基督必須受害,從死人中復活;又說:「我所傳給你們的這位耶穌就是基督。」 他們中間有些人聽了勸,就跟從保羅西拉,還有許多虔敬的希臘人,尊貴的婦女也不少。 但不信的猶太人心裏嫉妒,聚集了些市井流氓,搭夥成羣,煽動全城的人闖進耶孫的家,要把保羅西拉帶到民眾那裏。 那些人找不着他們,就把耶孫和幾個弟兄拉到地方官那裏,喊叫着:「這些攪亂天下的人也到這裏來了, 耶孫竟收留他們。這些人都違背凱撒的命令,說另有一個王耶穌。」 眾人和地方官聽見這些話,就惶恐了, 於是收了耶孫和其餘的人的保證金後,釋放了他們。

使徒們在庇哩亞傳道

10 當夜,弟兄們立刻送保羅西拉庇哩亞去;二人到了,就進入猶太人的會堂。 11 這地方的猶太人比帖撒羅尼迦的人開明,熱心領受這道,天天查考聖經,要知道這道是否真實。 12 所以,他們中間有許多信了,又有希臘的尊貴婦人,男人也不少。 13 帖撒羅尼迦猶太人知道保羅又在庇哩亞傳 神的道,就往那裏去,煽動挑撥羣眾。 14 於是,弟兄們立刻送保羅到海邊去,西拉提摩太卻仍留在庇哩亞 15 護送保羅的人帶他到了雅典,他們領了保羅的命令,叫西拉提摩太趕快到他那裏來,然後回去了。

保羅在雅典

16 保羅雅典等候他們的時候,看見滿城都是偶像,就心裏非常難過。 17 於是他在會堂裏與猶太人和虔敬的人,以及每日在市場上所遇見的人辯論。 18 還有伊壁鳩魯斯多亞兩派的哲學家也與他爭辯。有的說:「這胡言亂語的要說甚麼?」有的說:「他似乎是宣傳外邦鬼神的。」這是因保羅傳講耶穌與復活的福音。 19 他們就把他帶到亞略巴古,說:「你所講的這新學說,我們也可以知道嗎? 20 因為你有些奇怪的事傳到我們耳中,我們想知道這些事是甚麼意思。」 21 原來所有的雅典人和居住在那裏的外國人都無暇管別的事,只是談談或聽聽新聞。

22 保羅站在亞略巴古當中,說:「諸位雅典人!我看你們凡事很敬畏鬼神。 23 我到處走走的時候,仔細觀察你們所敬拜的,發現一座壇,上面寫着『獻給未識之神明』。你們所不認識而敬拜的,我現在向你們宣告: 24 他是創造宇宙和其中萬物的 神;他既是天地的主,就不住在人手所造的殿宇裏, 25 也不用人手去服侍,好像缺少甚麼似的;自己倒將生命、氣息、萬物賜給萬人。 26 他從一人[a]造出萬族,居住在全地面上,並且預先定準他們的年限和所住的疆界, 27 為要使他們尋求 神,或者可以揣摩而找到他,其實他離我們各人不遠。 28 我們生活、行動、存在都在於他。就如你們的詩人也有人說:『我們也是他所生的。』 29 既然我們是 神所生的,就不應該以為 神的神性像人用手藝和心思所雕刻的金、銀、石像一般。 30 世人蒙昧無知的時候, 神並不追究,如今卻吩咐各處的人都要悔改。 31 因為他已經定了日子,要藉着他所設立的人按公義審判天下,並且使他從死人中復活,給萬人作可信的憑據。」

32 眾人聽見死人復活的話,就有人譏誚他;又有人說:「我們會再聽你講這事。」 33 於是保羅從他們當中出去了。 34 但有幾個人依附他,信了主,其中有亞略巴古的議員丟尼修,和一個名叫大馬哩的婦人,還有幾個與他們一起的人。

Paul in Thessalonica

17 Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to (A)Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And (B)according to Paul’s custom, he [a]visited them, and for three (C)Sabbaths reasoned with them from (D)the Scriptures, [b]explaining and [c]giving evidence that the [d]Christ (E)had to suffer and (F)rise from the dead, and saying, “(G)This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the [e]Christ.” (H)And some of them were persuaded and joined (I)Paul and Silas, [f]along with a large number of the (J)God-fearing (K)Greeks and [g]a significant number of the (L)leading women. But (M)the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the marketplace, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and they attacked the house of (N)Jason and were seeking to bring them out to the people. When they did not find them, they began (O)dragging Jason and some brothers before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset [h](P)the world have come here also; [i]and Jason (Q)has welcomed them, and they all act (R)contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. And when they had received a [j]pledge from (S)Jason and the others, they released them.

Paul in Berea

10 (T)The brothers immediately sent (U)Paul and Silas away by night to (V)Berea, [k]and when they arrived, they went into (W)the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these people were more noble-minded than those in (X)Thessalonica, [l]for they received the word with [m]great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. 12 Therefore, (Y)many of them believed, [n]along with a significant number of (Z)prominent Greek (AA)women and men. 13 But when the Jews of (AB)Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in (AC)Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds. 14 Then immediately (AD)the brothers sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and (AE)Silas and (AF)Timothy remained there. 15 Now (AG)those who escorted Paul brought him as far as (AH)Athens; and receiving a command for (AI)Silas and Timothy to (AJ)come to him as soon as possible, they left.

Paul in Athens

16 Now while Paul was waiting for them in (AK)Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he observed that the city was full of idols. 17 So he was reasoning (AL)in the synagogue with the Jews and (AM)the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be present. 18 And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers as well were [o]conversing with him. Some were saying, “What could (AN)this [p]scavenger of tidbits want to say?” Others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,”—because he was preaching (AO)Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they (AP)took him and brought him [q]to the [r](AQ)Areopagus, saying, “May we know what (AR)this new teaching is [s]which you are proclaiming? 20 For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.” 21 (Now all the Athenians and the strangers (AS)visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

Sermon on Mars Hill

22 So Paul stood in the midst of the [t]Areopagus and said, “Men of (AT)Athens, I see that you are very (AU)religious in all respects. 23 For while I was passing through and examining the (AV)objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore, what (AW)you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. 24 (AX)The God who made the world and everything that is in it, since He is (AY)Lord of heaven and earth, does not (AZ)dwell in temples made by hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, (BA)as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; 26 and (BB)He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having (BC)determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might feel around for Him and find Him, (BD)though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for (BE)in Him we live and move and [u]exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His descendants.’ 29 Therefore, since we are the descendants of God, we (BF)ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. 30 So having (BG)overlooked (BH)the times of ignorance, God is (BI)now proclaiming to mankind that all people everywhere are to repent, 31 because He has set (BJ)a day on which (BK)He will judge [v](BL)the world in righteousness [w]through a Man whom He has (BM)appointed, having furnished proof to all people [x]by (BN)raising Him from the dead.”

32 Now when they heard of (BO)the resurrection of the dead, some began to scoff, but others said, “We shall hear from you [y]again concerning this.” 33 So Paul went out from among them. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the (BP)Areopagite and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
