Paul preaches in Athens (colour litho)
3116836 Paul preaches in Athens (colour litho) by Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino) (1483-1520) (after); (add.info.: Acts 17:22-25
Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, To The Unknown God. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. Neither is worshipped with mens hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things.
Die Heilige Schrift des Alten und Neuen Testaments. Aus der Vulgata Aobersetzt von Dr. Joseph Franz von Allioli. Verlag der Goldenen Klassiker Bibel, Max Herzig, 1894.
Acts 17:22-25 Paulus aber stand mitten auf dem Gerichtsplatz und sprach: Ihr MAanner von Athen, ich sehe, das ihr in allen StAocken gar sehr die GAotter fAorchtet. Ich bin herdurchgegangen und habe gesehen eure Gottesdienste und fand einen Altar, darauf war geschrieben: Dem unbekannten Gott. Nun verkAondige ich euch denselben, dem ihr unwissend Gottesdienst tut. Gott, der die Welt gemacht hat und alles, was darinnen ist, er, der ein HERR ist Himmels und der Erde, wohnt nicht in Tempeln mit HAanden gemacht. Sein wird auch nicht von MenschenhAanden gepflegt, als der jemandes bedAorfe, so er selber jedermann Leben und Odem allenthalben gibt.
