Atos 17

Almeida Atualizada (Portuguese) AA

1 Tendo passado por Anfípolis e Apolônia, chegaram a Tessalônica, onde havia uma sinagoga dos judeus.

2 Ora, Paulo, segundo o seu costume, foi ter com eles; e por três sábados discutiu com eles as Escrituras,

3 expondo e demonstrando que era necessário que o Cristo padecesse e ressuscitasse dentre os mortos; este Jesus que eu vos anuncio, dizia ele, é o Cristo.

4 E alguns deles ficaram persuadidos e aderiram a Paulo e Silas, bem como grande multidão de gregos devotos e não poucas mulheres de posição.

5 Mas os judeus, movidos de inveja, tomando consigo alguns homens maus dentre os vadios e ajuntando o povo, alvoroçavam a cidade e, assaltando a casa de Jáson, os procuravam para entregá-los ao povo.

6 Porém, não os achando, arrastaram Jáson e alguns irmãos � presença dos magistrados da cidade, clamando: Estes que têm transtornado o mundo chegaram também aqui,

7 os quais Jáson acolheu; e todos eles procedem contra os decretos de César, dizendo haver outro rei, que é Jesus.

8 Assim alvoroçaram a multidão e os magistrados da cidade, que ouviram estas coisas.

9 Tendo, porém, recebido fiança de Jáson e dos demais, soltaram-nos.

10 E logo, de noite, os irmãos enviaram Paulo e Silas para Beréia; tendo eles ali chegado, foram � sinagoga dos judeus.

11 Ora, estes eram mais nobres do que os de Tessalônica, porque receberam a palavra com toda avidez, examinando diariamente as Escrituras para ver se estas coisas eram assim.

12 De sorte que muitos deles creram, bem como bom número de mulheres gregas de alta posição e não poucos homens.

13 Mas, logo que os judeus de Tessalônica souberam que também em Beréia era anunciada por Paulo a palavra de Deus, foram lá agitar e sublevar as multidões.

14 Imediatamente os irmãos fizeram sair a Paulo para que fosse até o mar; mas Silas e Timóteo ficaram ali.

15 E os que acompanhavam a Paulo levaram-no até Atenas e, tendo recebido ordem para Silas e Timóteo a fim de que estes fossem ter com ele o mais depressa possível, partiram.

16 Enquanto Paulo os esperava em Atenas, revoltava-se nele o seu espírito, vendo a cidade cheia de ídolos.

17 Argumentava, portanto, na sinagoga com os judeus e os gregos devotos, e na praça todos os dias com os que se encontravam ali.

18 Ora, alguns filósofos epicureus e estóicos disputavam com ele. Uns diziam: Que quer dizer este paroleiro? E outros: Parece ser pregador de deuses estranhos; pois anunciava a boa nova de Jesus e a ressurreição.

19 E, tomando-o, o levaram ao Areópago, dizendo: Poderemos nós saber que nova doutrina é essa de que falas?

20 Pois tu nos trazes aos ouvidos coisas estranhas; portanto queremos saber o que vem a ser isto.

21 Ora, todos os atenienses, como também os estrangeiros que ali residiam, de nenhuma outra coisa se ocupavam senão de contar ou de ouvir a última novidade.

22 Então Paulo, estando de pé no meio do Areópago, disse: Varões atenienses, em tudo vejo que sois excepcionalmente religiosos;

23 Porque, passando eu e observando os objetos do vosso culto, encontrei também um altar em que estava escrito: AO DEUS DESCONHECIDO. Esse, pois, que vós honrais sem o conhecer, é o que vos anuncio.

24 O Deus que fez o mundo e tudo o que nele há, sendo ele Senhor do céu e da terra, não habita em templos feitos por mãos de homens;

25 nem tampouco é servido por mãos humanas, como se necessitasse de alguma coisa; pois ele mesmo é quem dá a todos a vida, a respiração e todas as coisas;

26 e de um só fez todas as raças dos homens, para habitarem sobre toda a face da terra, determinando-lhes os tempos já dantes ordenados e os limites da sua habitação;

27 para que buscassem a Deus, se porventura, tateando, o pudessem achar, o qual, todavia, não está longe de cada um de nós;

28 porque nele vivemos, e nos movemos, e existimos; como também alguns dos vossos poetas disseram: Pois dele também somos geração.

29 Sendo nós, pois, geração de Deus, não devemos pensar que a divindade seja semelhante ao ouro, ou � prata, ou � pedra esculpida pela arte e imaginação do homem.

30 Mas Deus, não levando em conta os tempos da ignorância, manda agora que todos os homens em todo lugar se arrependam;

31 porquanto determinou um dia em que com justiça há de julgar o mundo, por meio do varão que para isso ordenou; e disso tem dado certeza a todos, ressuscitando-o dentre os mortos.

32 Mas quando ouviram falar em ressurreição de mortos, uns escarneciam, e outros diziam: Acerca disso te ouviremos ainda outra vez.

33 Assim Paulo saiu do meio deles.

34 Todavia, alguns homens aderiram a ele, e creram, entre os quais Dionísio, o areopagita, e uma mulher por nome Dâmaris, e com eles outros.

New International Version NIV

1 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead. “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,” he said.

4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

5 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. They rushed to Jason’s house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.

6 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here,

7 and Jason has welcomed them into his house. They are all defying Caesar’s decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.”

8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.

9 Then they made Jason and the others post bond and let them go.

10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.

12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up.

14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea.

15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

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 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 about Jesus and the resurrection.

19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching 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 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 and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.

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—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

24 “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.

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.

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.

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.

28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

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.

30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, 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, also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.
