Paul Taught in Athens
Paul traveled to a city names Athens. While he waited for his friends to arrive, he looked around the city and noticed many idols (statues of false gods). This made Paul very sad because the people were not worshiping the one true God.
Paul went to the synagogue (church). He talked to the people about Jesus. Every day, Paul went to the marketplace. He told people he met there about Jesus.
Some men heard Paul teaching about Jesus. They did not know what he was talking about. The men heard Paul with them to a special meeting place on a hill. They wanted to know more about what he was teaching.
Paul stood up in the meeting. He said, "People of Athens! I have walked around your city and seen the statues you worship. I want to tell you what I know about the one true God. God created the world and everything in it. He made all people, and he loves all people. He wants people to love and follow him." Paul told the people about Jesus, God's son.
Some people did net like what Paul told them. Others still wanted to know more about God and Jesus. Some of the people believed what Paul said and began to follow God.

Paul and Silas Sang to God
Some people did not want Paul and Silas to talk about Jesus. They said things that were not true about them and hurt them. Paul and Silas were even put in jail. The jailer locked their feet in chains.
Paul and Silas prayed and sang songs to God. The other prisoners listened to them pray and sing.
Suddenly, at about midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing, there was an earthquake. The ground shook so hard that the prison doors opened, and the prisoners' chains came loose.
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he thought the prisoners has left. The jailer knew he would be punished if the prisoners were gone.
Then the jailer heard Paul call out in a loud voice, "We are all still here! Do not be afraid!"
The jailer rushed in to where Paul and Silas were and took them back to his house.
They told the jailer and his family the good news about Jesus. The jailer took care of Paul and Silas. He washed their cuts and gave them a meal. The jailer and his family believed what they heard about Jesus and were baptized right away.
Based on Acts 16:16-34
