Acts 17:16-18

¹⁶While Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his heart was stirred at seeing the whole city full of idols.

¹⁷So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who joined in their worship, as well as daily in the public Square with those who happened to be there.

¹⁸Among others, some Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers joined issue with him. Some asked “What is this prater wanting to make out?”, while others said “He seems to be a preacher of foreign Deities.” (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection).
