Acts 17:16-21 - Paul In Athens
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred within him, when he saw the city full of idols. 17 Accordingly, he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and devout persons, and in the market daily, with those who chanced to meet him. 18 And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers disputed with him; and some said: What can this babbler possibly wish to say? Others said: He seems to be a proclaimer of strange demons: for he preached to them Jesus and the Resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him to Mars hill, saying: Are we able to understand what this new teaching is, which is announced by you? 20 For you bring some strange things to our ears: we wish to understand then what these things mean. 21 For all the Athenians and resident strangers have leisure for nothing else than to tell or to hear some new thing.
