16NowG1161 while PaulG3972 was waitingG1551 forG1551 them in 1AthensG116, his spiritG4151 was being provokedG3947 withinG1722 him as he observedG2334 that the cityG4172 was fullG2712 ofG2712 idolsG2712. 17SoG3767 he was reasoningG1256 2in the synagogueG4864 with the JewsG2453 and 3the God-fearingG4576 Gentiles, and in the marketplaceG58 everyG3956 dayG2250 with thoseG3588 who happenedG3909 toG3909 beG3909 presentG3909. 18And someG5100 of the EpicureanG1946 and StoicG4770 philosophersG5386 asG2532 wellG2532 were 4conversingG4820 with him. SomeG5100 were sayingG3004, “WhatG5101 could 5thisG3778 6scavengerG4691 ofG4691 tidbitsG4691 wantG2309 to sayG3004?” OthersG3588G1161, “He seemsG1380 to be a proclaimerG2604 of strangeG3581 deitiesG1140,”--becauseG3754 he was preachingG2097 7JesusG2424 and the resurrectionG386. 19And they 8tookG1949 him and broughtG71 him 9to the 1011AreopagusG697, sayingG3004, “MayG1410 we knowG1097 whatG5101 12thisG3778 newG2537 teachingG1322 is 13which you are proclaimingG2980? 20For you are bringingG1533 someG5100 strangeG3579 thingsG3579 to our earsG189; soG3767 we wantG1014 to knowG1097 whatG5101 theseG3778 thingsG3778 meanG2309G1510.” 21(NowG1161 allG3956 the AtheniansG117 and the strangersG3581 14visitingG1927 there used to spendG2119 their timeG2119 in nothingG3762 otherG2087 thanG2228 tellingG3004 orG2228 hearingG191 somethingG5100 newG2537.)
