4 Quelques-uns|strong="G2532" d|strong="G1537"'entre|strong="G1537" eux|strong="G1537" se|strong="G2532" laissèrent|strong="G2532" convaincre|strong="G3982" et|strong="G2532" se|strong="G2532" joignirent|strong="G4345" à|strong="G2532" Paul|strong="G3972" et|strong="G2532" à|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609" ; parmi|strong="G1537" les|strong="G2532" Grecs|strong="G1672" pieux|strong="G4576", une|strong="G2532" grande|strong="G4183" foule|strong="G4183", et|strong="G2532" plusieurs|strong="G4183" femmes|strong="G1135" de|strong="G2532" confiance|strong="G3982".
5 Mais|strong="G1161" les|strong="G2532" Juifs|strong="G2453", qui|strong="G3588" n|strong="G2532"'étaient|strong="G3588" pas|strong="G1519" convaincus, prirent|strong="G4355" avec|strong="G2532" eux|strong="G1438" quelques|strong="G5100" méchants|strong="G4190" hommes|strong="G2532" de|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" place et|strong="G2532", rassemblant une|strong="G2532" foule|strong="G1161", mirent|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" ville|strong="G4172" en|strong="G2532" émoi. Assaillant la|strong="G2532" maison|strong="G3614" de|strong="G2532" Jason|strong="G2394", ils|strong="G2532" cherchaient|strong="G2212" à|strong="G1519" les|strong="G2532" faire|strong="G2532" sortir|strong="G4254" devant|strong="G2532" le|strong="G2532" peuple|strong="G1218".

Tous|strong="G3956" ceux-là|strong="G3956" agissent|strong="G4238" contrairement aux|strong="G2532" décrets de|strong="G2532" César|strong="G2541", en|strong="G2532" disant|strong="G3004" qu|strong="G3739"'il|strong="G2532" y|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2532" un|strong="G2532" autre|strong="G2087" roi|strong="G2532", Jésus|strong="G2424" ! »

9 Après|strong="G2532" avoir|strong="G2532" pris|strong="G2983" la|strong="G2532" garantie de|strong="G2532" Jason|strong="G2394" et|strong="G2532" des|strong="G2532" autres|strong="G3062", ils|strong="G2532" les|strong="G2532" laissèrent|strong="G2532" partir|strong="G2532".
10 Les|strong="G2532" frères|strong="G2532" envoyèrent|strong="G2532" aussitôt|strong="G2112" Paul|strong="G3972" et|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609", de|strong="G2532" nuit|strong="G3571", à|strong="G1519" Béroé. Lorsqu|strong="G1161"'ils|strong="G2532" arrivèrent|strong="G3854", ils|strong="G2532" entrèrent|strong="G2532" dans|strong="G1519" la|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" juive|strong="G2453".
11 Or|strong="G1161", ces|strong="G3778" gens-là|strong="G3778" étaient|strong="G3588" plus|strong="G1161" nobles|strong="G2104" que|strong="G1161" ceux|strong="G3588" de|strong="G1722" Thessalonique|strong="G2332", en|strong="G1722" ce|strong="G3778" qu|strong="G3588"'ils|strong="G1161" recevaient la|strong="G1722" parole|strong="G3056" avec|strong="G3326" une|strong="G1722" entière|strong="G3956" disponibilité d|strong="G1722"'esprit|strong="G2596", examinant chaque|strong="G2596" jour|strong="G2250" les|strong="G1722" Écritures|strong="G1124" pour|strong="G1161" voir|strong="G1161" si|strong="G1487" ces|strong="G3778" choses|strong="G3588" étaient|strong="G3588" vraies.
12 Plusieurs|strong="G4183" d|strong="G1537"'entre|strong="G1537" eux|strong="G1537" crurent|strong="G4100" donc|strong="G3767", ainsi|strong="G2532" que|strong="G2532" des|strong="G2532" femmes|strong="G1135" grecques|strong="G1674" éminentes, et|strong="G2532" beaucoup|strong="G4183" d|strong="G1537"'hommes|strong="G2532".
13 Mais|strong="G1161", lorsque|strong="G1161" les|strong="G2532" Juifs|strong="G2453" de|strong="G2532" Thessalonique|strong="G2332" eurent|strong="G1161" appris|strong="G2532" que|strong="G3754" la|strong="G2532" parole|strong="G3056" de|strong="G2532" Dieu|strong="G2316" avait|strong="G2532" été|strong="G1161" annoncée par|strong="G1722" Paul|strong="G3972" à|strong="G1722" Béroé aussi|strong="G2532", ils|strong="G2532" y|strong="G1161" vinrent|strong="G2064" aussi|strong="G2532", agitant la|strong="G2532" foule|strong="G3793".
14 Alors|strong="G5119" les|strong="G2532" frères|strong="G2532" envoyèrent|strong="G2532" aussitôt|strong="G2112" Paul|strong="G3972" se|strong="G2532" rendre|strong="G2532" jusqu|strong="G2193"'à|strong="G2532" la|strong="G2532" mer|strong="G2281", tandis|strong="G1161" que|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609" et|strong="G2532" Timothée|strong="G5095" restaient sur|strong="G1909" place.
15 Mais|strong="G1161" ceux|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" escortaient Paul|strong="G3972" le|strong="G2532" conduisirent|strong="G2532" jusqu|strong="G2193"'à|strong="G2532" Athènes. Ayant|strong="G2532" reçu|strong="G2983" l|strong="G1161"'ordre|strong="G1785" de|strong="G2532" Silas|strong="G4609" et|strong="G2532" de|strong="G2532" Timothée|strong="G5095" de|strong="G2532" venir|strong="G2064" très|strong="G2532" vite auprès|strong="G4314" de|strong="G2532" lui|strong="G2532", ils|strong="G2532" partirent|strong="G2532".
16 Pendant|strong="G1722" que|strong="G1161" Paul|strong="G3972" les|strong="G1722" attendait|strong="G1551" à|strong="G1722" Athènes, son|strong="G1722" esprit|strong="G4151" s|strong="G1438"'enflammait au-dedans|strong="G1161" de|strong="G1722" lui|strong="G1438", lorsqu|strong="G1161"'il|strong="G1161" voyait|strong="G2334" la|strong="G1722" ville|strong="G4172" pleine|strong="G3588" d|strong="G1722"'idoles|strong="G2712".
17 Il|strong="G2532" discutait donc|strong="G3767" dans|strong="G1722" la|strong="G2532" synagogue|strong="G4864" avec|strong="G1722" les|strong="G2532" Juifs|strong="G2453" et|strong="G2532" les|strong="G2532" personnes|strong="G2532" pieuses, et|strong="G2532" chaque|strong="G2596" jour|strong="G2250" sur|strong="G1722" la|strong="G2532" place|strong="G1722" publique avec|strong="G1722" ceux|strong="G3588" qui|strong="G3588" le|strong="G2532" rencontraient.
18 Quelques-uns|strong="G2532" des|strong="G2532" philosophes|strong="G5386" épicuriens|strong="G1946" et|strong="G2532" stoïciens|strong="G4770" s|strong="G2532"'entretenaient aussi|strong="G2532" avec|strong="G2532" lui|strong="G2532". Les|strong="G2532" uns|strong="G5100" disaient|strong="G3004" : « Que|strong="G3754" veut|strong="G2309" dire|strong="G3004" ce|strong="G3778" bavard ? »
19 Ils|strong="G3778" se|strong="G3588" saisirent|strong="G1949" de|strong="G3588" lui|strong="G3778" et|strong="G5037" l|strong="G3588"'amenèrent à|strong="G3004" l|strong="G3588"'Aréopage, en|strong="G3004" disant|strong="G3004" : « Pouvons-nous savoir|strong="G1097" quelle|strong="G5101" est|strong="G3588" cette|strong="G3778" nouvelle|strong="G2537" doctrine|strong="G1322" dont|strong="G3588" tu|strong="G4771" parles|strong="G2980" ?
