Acts 17:16-21 - Paul In Athens

¹⁶ And Paul waiting for them among the Athenians, his spirit was excited in him, seeing the city being addicted to idol worship. ¹⁷ Therefore truly he discussed in the synagogue with Jews, and those worshipping, and in the assembly in every day with those being present. ¹⁸ And certain of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers deliberated with him. And certain said, What may this idle, talkative man wish to say? and others, He seems to be a declarer of strange demons: because he announced to them good news, and the rising up.

¹⁹ And having taken him, they brought upon Mars' hill, saying, Can we know what this new teaching is, spoken by thee? ²⁰ For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we wish therefore to know what these things may be. ²¹ (And all the Athenians and strangers being present, passed time in nothing else but to say or hear some thing new.)
