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 1visitingG1927 there used to spendG2119 their timeG2119 in nothingG3762 otherG2087 thanG2228 tellingG3004 orG2228 hearingG191 somethingG5100 newG2537.)

22SoG1161 PaulG3972 stoodG2476 in the midstG3319 of the 2AreopagusG697 and saidG5346, “MenG435 of 3AthensG117, I seeG2334 that you are veryG1175 4religiousG1175 in allG3956 respectsG3956. 23For while I was passingG1330 throughG1330 and examiningG333 the 5objectsG4574 ofG4574 your worshipG4574, I alsoG2532 foundG2147 an altarG1041 with thisG3739 inscriptionG1924, ‘TO AN UNKNOWNG57 GODG2316.’ ThereforeG3767, whatG3739 6you worshipG2151 in ignoranceG50, thisG3778 I proclaimG2605 to you.
