Acts 17:16-21

16But in AthensG116, while PaulG3972 wasG1510 waiting for them, his spiritG4151 wasG1510 painfully excited in him seeingG2334 the cityG4172 given up to idolatry.

17He reasonedG1256 thereforeG3767 in the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453, and those who worshipped, and in the market-place every dayG2250 with those he met with.

18But some alsoG2532 of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers attacked him. And some saidG3004, What would this chatterer sayG3004? and some, He seemsG1380 to beG1510 an announcer of foreign demonsG1140, because he announced the glad tidings of JesusG2424 and the resurrectionG386 [to them].

19And having taken holdG1949 on him they broughtG71 [him] to Areopagus, sayingG3004, Might we knowG1097 what this newG2537 doctrine which is spokenG2980 by thee [is]?

20For thou bringest certainG5100 strangeG3579 thingsG3778 to our earsG189. We wishG2309 thereforeG3767 to knowG1097 what these thingsG3778 may mean.

21NowG1161 all [the] AtheniansG117 and the strangersG3581 sojourning there spent their time in nothing else than to tellG3004 and to hearG191 the news.
