Acts 17:15-21

¹⁵And they who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and having received a commandment to Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they departed.

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

¹⁷Therefore he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout Greeks, and in the market daily with those that met him.

¹⁸And some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, What doth this babbler mean to say? and others, He seemeth to be a setter forth of foreign gods; because he brought the glad tidings of Jesus and the resurrection.

¹⁹And they took him and brought him to Mars' hill, saying, May we know what this new doctrine is, of which thou speakest?

²⁰For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean.

²¹Now all the Athenians, and the strangers residing among them, spent their leisure for nothing else but to tell or to hear something new.
