Acts 17:16-21 - Paul In Athens
16 While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his soul was irritated at the sight of the idols that filled the city. 17 He argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout proselytes and also in the marketplace daily with those who chanced to be present. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also came across him. Some said, "Whatever does the fellow mean with his scraps of learning'?" Others said, "He looks like a herald of foreign deities" (this was because he preached 'Jesus' and 'the Resurrection').
19 Then taking him to the Areopagus they asked, "May we know what is this novel teaching of yours? 20 You talk of some things that sound strange to us; so we want to know what they mean." 21 (For all the Athenians and the foreign visitors to Athens occupied themselves with nothing else than repeating or listening to the latest novelty.)
