Acts 17:17-19

17Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoics, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? some others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.1 19And they took him, and brought him to Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?2
