17SoG3767 he was reasoningG1256 1in the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453 and 2the God-fearingG4576 Gentiles, and in the marketG58 placeG58 everyG3956 dayG2250 with thoseG3588 who happenedG3909 to be presentG3909.
18And alsoG2532 someG5100 of the EpicureanG1946 and StoicG4770 philosophersG5386 were 3conversingG4820 with him. SomeG5100 were sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 would 4thisG3778 5idleG4691 babblerG4691 wishG2309 to sayG3004?” OthersG3588G1161, “He seemsG1380 to be a proclaimerG2604 of strangeG3581 deitiesG1140,”--becauseG3754 he was preachingG2097 6JesusG2424 and the resurrectionG386.
