Acts 17:16-21

16Now while Paul was waiting for them in 1Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he observed that the city was full of idols. 17So he was reasoning 2in the synagogue with the Jews and 3the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be present. 18And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers as well were 4conversing with him. Some were saying, “What could 5this 6scavenger of tidbits want to say?” Others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,”--because he was preaching 7Jesus and the resurrection. 19And they 8took him and brought him 9to the 1011Areopagus, saying, “May we know what 12this new teaching is 13which you are proclaiming? 20For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean.” 21(Now all the Athenians and the strangers 14visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)
