Acts 17:16-21 - Paul In Athens
16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his Spirit was greatly moved, when he saw the city wholly given up to idolatry. 17 He therefore disputed in the synagogue with the Jews and other devout persons on the sabbath-day, and with whomsoever he met in public every day. 18 But some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him; and some said, What would this babler say? and others, He seemeth to be a proclaimer of foreign deities: because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection.
19 And they took and brought him to the Areopagus, and said, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest? 20 For thou bringest strange things to our ears; we would therefore know what these things mean. 21 (Now all the Athenians, and strangers sojourning among them, spent their time in nothing else, but to tell or to hear something new.)
