Acts 17:16-21 - Paul In Athens

¹⁶ Now, while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him, seeing the city wholly given to idolatry. ¹⁷ He therefore discoursed in the synagogue to the Jews and the devout persons, and in the market-place daily to those whom he met with. ¹⁸ Then some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers incountered him: and some said, What would this babler say? Others, he seemeth to be a proclaimer of strange gods; because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.

¹⁹ And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, which is spoken by thee? ²⁰ For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears; we would therefore know, what these things mean? ²¹ (For all the Athenians, and the strangers sojourning there, spent their time in nothing else, but telling or hearing some new thing.)
