Acts 17:19-22

19SoG5037 they tookG1949 Paul and broughtG71 him toG1909 theG3588 AreopagusG697,1 where they askedG3004 him, “May weG1410 knowG1097 whatG5101 thisG3778 newG2537 teachingG1322 is that youG4771 are presentingG5259G2980? 20ForG1063 you are bringingG1533 someG5100 strange notionsG3579 toG1519 ourG1473 earsG189, and we wantG1014 to knowG1097 whatG5101 they meanG2309G1510.”

21NowG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 andG2532 foreignersG3581 who lived thereG1927 spent their timeG2119 doing nothingG3762 more thanG2228 hearingG191 andG2228 articulatingG3004 newG2537 ideas.

22ThenG1161 PaulG3972 stood upG2476 inG1722 the meetingG33192 of theG3588 AreopagusG697 and saidG5346, “MenG435 of AthensG117, I seeG2334 thatG5613 inG2596 every wayG3956 youG4771 are very religiousG1174.
