Isaiah 53:5-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
5 But He was [a]pierced through for (A)our transgressions,
He was crushed for (B)our iniquities;
The (C)chastening for our [b]well-being fell upon Him,
And by (D)His scourging we are healed.
6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To [c]fall on Him.
7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He did not (E)open His mouth;
(F)Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,
And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,
So He did not open His mouth.
8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;
And as for His generation, who considered
That He was cut off out of the land of the [d]living
(G)For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?
9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,
Yet He was with a (H)rich man in His death,
(I)Because He had (J)done no violence,
Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.
10 But the Lord was pleased
To (K)crush Him, [e](L)putting Him to grief;
If [f]He would render Himself as a guilt (M)offering,
He will see (N)His [g]offspring,
He will prolong His days,
And the [h]good (O)pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
11 As a result of the [i]anguish of His soul,
He will (P)see [j]it and be satisfied;
By His (Q)knowledge the Righteous One,
My Servant, will justify the many,
As He will (R)bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore, I will allot Him a (S)portion with the great,
And He will divide the booty with the strong;
Because He poured out [k](T)Himself to death,
And was (U)numbered with the transgressors;
Yet He Himself (V)bore the sin of many,
And interceded for the transgressors.

5 But he was pierced(A) for our transgressions,(B)
he was crushed(C) for our iniquities;
the punishment(D) that brought us peace(E) was on him,
and by his wounds(F) we are healed.(G)
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,(H)
each of us has turned to our own way;(I)
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity(J) of us all.
7 He was oppressed(K) and afflicted,
yet he did not open his mouth;(L)
he was led like a lamb(M) to the slaughter,(N)
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
8 By oppression[a] and judgment(O) he was taken away.
Yet who of his generation protested?
For he was cut off from the land of the living;(P)
for the transgression(Q) of my people he was punished.[b]
9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked,(R)
and with the rich(S) in his death,
though he had done no violence,(T)
nor was any deceit in his mouth.(U)
10 Yet it was the Lord’s will(V) to crush(W) him and cause him to suffer,(X)
and though the Lord makes[c] his life an offering for sin,(Y)
he will see his offspring(Z) and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper(AA) in his hand.
11 After he has suffered,(AB)
he will see the light(AC) of life[d] and be satisfied[e];
by his knowledge[f] my righteous servant(AD) will justify(AE) many,
and he will bear their iniquities.(AF)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,[g](AG)
and he will divide the spoils(AH) with the strong,[h]
because he poured out his life unto death,(AI)
and was numbered with the transgressors.(AJ)
For he bore(AK) the sin of many,(AL)
and made intercession(AM) for the transgressors.

32 Now the passage of Scripture which he was reading was this:
“(A)He was led as a sheep to slaughter;
And as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
So He does not open His mouth.
33 “(B)In humiliation His judgment was taken away;
Who will [a]relate His [b]generation?
For His life is removed from the earth.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip and said, “Please tell me, of whom does the prophet say this? Of himself or of someone else?” 35 Then Philip (C)opened his mouth, and (D)beginning from this Scripture he (E)preached Jesus to him. 36 As they went along the road they came to some water; and the eunuch *said, “Look! Water! (F)What prevents me from being baptized?” 37 [[c]And Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And he answered and said, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”] 38 And he ordered the [d]chariot to stop; and they both went down into the water, Philip as well as the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, (G)the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, [e]but went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip [f]found himself at [g](H)Azotus, and as he passed through he (I)kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to (J)Caesarea.

32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[a](A)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(B) with that very passage of Scripture(C) and told him the good news(D) about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”(E) [37] [b] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away,(F) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns(G) until he reached Caesarea.(H)

Acts 17:2-34
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 And (A)according to Paul’s custom, he went to them, and for three (B)Sabbaths reasoned with them from (C)the Scriptures, 3 [a]explaining and [b]giving evidence that the [c]Christ (D)had to suffer and (E)rise again from the dead, and saying, “(F)This Jesus whom I am proclaiming to you is the [d]Christ.” 4 (G)And some of them were persuaded and joined (H)Paul and Silas, [e]along with a large number of the (I)God-fearing (J)Greeks and [f]a number of the (K)leading women. 5 But (L)the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of (M)Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people. 6 When they did not find them, they began (N)dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, “These men who have upset [g](O)the world have come here also; 7 [h]and Jason (P)has welcomed them, and they all act (Q)contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus.” 8 They stirred up the crowd and the city authorities who heard these things. 9 And when they had received a [i]pledge from (R)Jason and the others, they released them.
Paul at Berea
10 (S)The brethren immediately sent (T)Paul and Silas away by night to (U)Berea, [j]and when they arrived, they went into (V)the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in (W)Thessalonica, [k]for they received the word with [l]great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. 12 Therefore (X)many of them believed, [m]along with a number of (Y)prominent Greek (Z)women and men. 13 But when the Jews of (AA)Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in (AB)Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds. 14 Then immediately (AC)the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and (AD)Silas and (AE)Timothy remained there. 15 Now (AF)those who escorted Paul brought him as far as (AG)Athens; and receiving a command for (AH)Silas and Timothy to (AI)come to him as soon as possible, they left.
Paul at Athens
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at (AJ)Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols. 17 So he was reasoning (AK)in the synagogue with the Jews and (AL)the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be present. 18 And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were [n]conversing with him. Some were saying, “What would (AM)this [o]idle babbler wish to say?” Others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,”—because he was preaching (AN)Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they (AO)took him and brought him [p]to the [q](AP)Areopagus, saying, “May we know what (AQ)this new teaching is [r]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 (AR)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 [s]Areopagus and said, “Men of (AS)Athens, I observe that you are very (AT)religious in all respects. 23 For while I was passing through and examining the (AU)objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what (AV)you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. 24 (AW)The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is (AX)Lord of heaven and earth, does not (AY)dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, (AZ)as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; 26 and (BA)He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having (BB)determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, 27 that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, (BC)though He is not far from each one of us; 28 for (BD)in Him we live and move and [t]exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 Being then the children of God, we (BE)ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. 30 Therefore having (BF)overlooked (BG)the times of ignorance, God is (BH)now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed (BI)a day in which (BJ)He will judge [u](BK)the world in righteousness [v]through a Man whom He has (BL)appointed, having furnished proof to all men [w]by (BM)raising Him from the dead.”
32 Now when they heard of (BN)the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, “We shall hear you [x]again concerning this.” 33 So Paul went out of their midst. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the (BO)Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

2 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue,(A) and on three Sabbath(B) days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,(C) 3 explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer(D) and rise from the dead.(E) “This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah,”(F) he said. 4 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas,(G) 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.(H) They rushed to Jason’s(I) house in search of Paul and Silas in order to bring them out to the crowd.[a] 6 But when they did not find them, they dragged(J) Jason and some other believers(K) before the city officials, shouting: “These men who have caused trouble all over the world(L) have now come here,(M) 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.”(N) 8 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil. 9 Then they made Jason(O) and the others post bond and let them go.
In Berea
10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas(P) away to Berea.(Q) On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.(R) 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica,(S) for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures(T) every day to see if what Paul said was true.(U) 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.(V)
13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea,(W) some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers(X) immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas(Y) and Timothy(Z) stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens(AA) and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.(AB)
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(AC) 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(AD) about Jesus and the resurrection.(AE) 19 Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus,(AF) where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching(AG) 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(AH) 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(AI) and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious.(AJ) 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(AK)—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.
24 “The God who made the world and everything in it(AL) is the Lord of heaven and earth(AM) and does not live in temples built by human hands.(AN) 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.(AO) 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.(AP) 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.(AQ) 28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’[b](AR) 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.(AS) 30 In the past God overlooked(AT) such ignorance,(AU) but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.(AV) 31 For he has set a day when he will judge(AW) the world with justice(AX) by the man he has appointed.(AY) He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”(AZ)
32 When they heard about the resurrection of the dead,(BA) 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,(BB) also a woman named Damaris, and a number of others.
