Acts 17:14-18

¹⁴Then immediately the brothers sent Paul away to go toward the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there.

¹⁵Now those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy, that as quickly as possible they should come to him, they departed.

¹⁶And in Athens, while Paul waited for them, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was full of idols.

¹⁷Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentile worshipers, and in the marketplace daily with those coming by.

¹⁸And also some of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. And some were saying, “What does this seed-picker wish to say?” But others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,” because he was preaching the good news of Jesus and the resurrection.
