Acts 17 from the NIV Bible on YouVersion, recounts the missionary journeys of Paul and his companions through various cities including Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. In each location, Paul engaged with Jewish synagogues and the general populace, proclaiming Jesus as the Messiah and reasoning from Scripture. While some embraced his teachings, leading to the formation of new believers, others opposed him, sometimes inciting riots and forcing him to move on. The account also highlights the differing receptions to Paul's message, from the more receptive Bereans to the philosophical debates he encountered in Athens, where he addressed the Areopagus about the "unknown god".
