Context Readings

Paul In Athens

15 But, they who were conducting Paul, brought him as far as Athens, and, receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy, that with, all possible speed, they would come unto him, they departed. 16 But, while, in Athens, Paul was expecting them, his spirit within him was being urged on, seeing how the city was given to idols. 17 So then, he began reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with them who worshipped; and, in the market-place, every day, with them who happened to be at hand.
