And those who arranged for Sha’ul brought him to Athens. And receiving a command for Sila and Timothy to join him as soon as possible, they departed.
So, being sent on their way by the assembly, they passed through Phoenicia and Shomeron, relating the conversion of the gentiles. And they were causing great joy to all the brothers.
And then immediately the brothers sent Sha’ul away, to go to the sea, but both Sila and Timothy stayed there.
But while Sha’ul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred up within him when he saw that the city was utterly idolatrous.
For all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their leisure time in doing naught but to speak or to hear what is fresh.
And having stood in the midst of the Areopagus Sha’ul said, “Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every matter.
And after this Sha’ul left Athens and went to Corinth.
And when Sila and Timothy came down from Makedonia, Sha’ul was pressed by the Spirit, and earnestly witnessed to the Yehuḏ
So, when we could no longer stand it, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,
When I shall send Artemas to you, or Tuchikos, do your best to come to me at Nikopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
