¹⁶ Now de · ho while Paul Paulos was waiting ekdechomai for them autos · ho at en Athens, his autos spirit pneuma was stirred paroxynō up · ho within en him autos on seeing theōreō the ho city polis full kateidōlos of idols . ¹⁷ So oun he reasoned dialegomai in en the ho synagogue synagōgē with the ho Jews Ioudaios and kai the ho worshippers sebō, and kai in en the ho marketplace agora every kata pas day hēmera with pros those ho who happened to be paratynchanō there . ¹⁸ Also kai some tis · de of the ho Epicurean Epikoureios and kai Stoic Stoikos philosophers philosophos were conversing symballō with him autos, and kai some tis were asking legō, “ What tis does this houtos babbler spermologos want thelō · ho to say legō?” Others ho said, · de “ He seems dokeō to be eimi a proclaimer katangeleus of strange xenos gods daimonion,” for hoti he was announcing the good news euangelizō about · ho Jesus Iēsous and kai the ho resurrection anastasis. ¹⁹ And te they took hold epilambanomai of him autos and brought agō him to epi the ho Areopagus pagos, saying legō, “ May dynamai we know ginōskō what tis is · ho this houtos new kainos · ho teaching didachē being presented laleō by hypo you sy? ²⁰ For gar you bring eispherō some tis strange xenizō things to eis · ho our hēmeis ears akoē, so oun we want boulomai to know ginōskō what tis these houtos things mean eimi.” ²¹ ( Now de all pas the Athenians Athēnaios and kai the ho foreigners xenos living epidēmeō there used to spend their time eukaireō in eis nothing oudeis else heteros than ē to tell legō or ē to hear akouō something tis new kainos.)

²² So de Paul Paulos, standing histēmi · ho in en the midst mesos of the ho Areopagus pagos, said phēmi: “ Men anēr of Athens Athēnaios, I perceive theōreō that hōs in kata every pas way you hymeis are a very devout deisidaimōn people . ²³ For gar as I went dierchomai around and kai observed anatheōreō · ho your hymeis objects sebasma of worship , I found heuriskō also kai an altar bōmos on en which hos was inscribed epigraphō, ‘ To an unknown agnōstos god theos.’ So oun what hos you worship eusebeō without agnoeō knowing , this houtos I egō proclaim katangellō to you hymeis. ²⁴ The ho God theos who ho made poieō the ho world kosmos and kai everything pas · ho in en it autos, being hyparchō Lord kyrios of heaven ouranos and kai earth gē, does katoikeō not ou live katoikeō in en shrines naos made cheiropoiētos by human hands , ²⁵ nor oude is he served therapeuō by hypo human anthrōpinos hands cheir, as though he needed prosdeomai anything tis, since he himself autos gives didōmi to all pas life zōē and kai breath pnoē and kai · ho everything pas. ²⁶ And te he made poieō from ek one heis man every pas race ethnos of men anthrōpos to live katoikeō on epi all pas the face prosōpon of the ho earth gē, having determined horizō allotted prostassō epochs kairos and kai the ho fixed horothesia boundaries of the ho places katoikia where they autos would live , ²⁷ that they should seek zēteō · ho God theos, if ei perhaps ara ge that they might grope psēlaphaō for him autos and kai find heuriskō him, though kai indeed ge he is hyparchō not ou far makran from apo each hekastos one heis of us hēmeis. ²⁸ ‘ For gar in en him autos we live zaō and kai move kineō about and kai exist eimi,’ as hōs even kai some tis of ho your own kata poets poiētēs have said legō, ‘ For gar we eimi too kai are eimi his ho offspring genos.’ ²⁹ So oun since we are hyparchō the offspring genos of ho God theos, we ought opheilō not ou to think nomizō that the ho divine being theios is eimi like homoios an image carved charagma in gold chrysos or ē silver argyros or ē stone lithos by human anthrōpos skill technē and kai imagination enthumēsis. ³⁰ So then oun, God theos overlooked hyperoraō the ho times chronos of ho ignorance agnoia, · ho · ho but now nyn he orders parangellō · ho men anthrōpos to repent metanoeō, all pas of them in all pantachou places , ³¹ because kathoti he has appointed histēmi a day hēmera on en which hos he will mellō judge krinō the ho world oikoumenē in en righteousness dikaiosynē by en the man anēr whom hos he has appointed horizō, having provided parechō proof pistis to all pas by raising anistēmi him autos from ek the dead nekros.”

³² Now de when they heard akouō of the resurrection anastasis of the dead nekros, some ho mocked chleuazō, but de others ho said legō, “ We will hear akouō you sy again palin about peri this houtos.” · kai ³³ So houtōs · ho Paul Paulos departed exerchomai from ek their autos midst mesos. ³⁴ But de some tis men anēr joined kollaō him autos and believed pisteuō; among en whom hos also kai were Dionysius Dionysios the ho Areopagite Areopagitēs and kai a woman gynē named onoma Damaris Damaris and kai others heteros with syn them autos.

8 In en those ekeinos · ho days hēmera, when once again palin a large polys crowd ochlos had gathered eimi, and kai not mē having echō anything tis to eat esthiō, Jesus called proskaleō his ho disciples mathētēs and said legō to them autos, ² “ I have compassion splanchnizomai on epi the ho crowd ochlos, because hoti they have stayed prosmenō with me egō three treis days hēmera already ēdē and kai they do not ou have echō anything tis to eat esthiō. ³ · kai If ean I send apolyō them autos to eis their autos homes oikos without food nēstis, they will faint eklyō from exhaustion on en the ho way hodos; and kai some tis of them autos have come hēkō from apo a distance makrothen.” ⁴ And kai his autos disciples mathētēs answered apokrinomai him autos, · ho “ From what pothen source can dynamai anyone tis feed chortazō these houtos people with bread artos here hōde in epi this desolate erēmia place ?” ⁵ And kai he asked erōtaō them autos, “ How posos many loaves artos do you have echō?” They ho · de said legō, “ Seven hepta.” ⁶ So kai he directed parangellō the ho crowd ochlos to sit anapiptō down on epi the ho ground gē. · kai Taking lambanō the ho seven hepta loaves artos and giving thanks eucharisteō, he broke klaō them and kai gave didōmi them to ho his autos disciples mathētēs to hina distribute paratithēmi. So kai they distributed paratithēmi the bread to the ho crowd ochlos. ⁷ They also kai had echō a few oligos small fish ichthudion. · kai Blessing eulogeō these autos, Jesus told legō them to distribute paratithēmi these houtos as kai well . ⁸ And kai they ate esthiō and kai were filled chortazō. And kai they picked airō up seven hepta baskets spyris of leftover perisseuma pieces klasma. ⁹ There were eimi · de about hōs four thousand tetrakischilioi present , and kai he sent apolyō them autos on their way .

¹⁰ And kai immediately he got embainō into eis the ho boat ploion with meta · ho his autos disciples mathētēs and went erchomai to eis the ho district meros of Dalmanutha Dalmanoutha.
