Acts 17:16-21

16Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was aroused within him when he saw that the city was full of idols.

17So he was debating in the synagogue with the Jewish people and the God-fearers, as well as in the marketplace every day with all who happened to be there.

18Also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, “What’s this babbler trying to say?” while others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities”—because he was proclaiming the Good News of Yeshua and the resurrection.

19So they took Paul to the Aereopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are talking about?

20For you are bringing some strange things to our ears, so we want to know what these things mean.”

21Now all the Athenians and foreigners visiting there used to pass their time doing nothing but telling or hearing something new.
