Acts 17:19-23

¹⁹So they laid hold of him and took him to the Court of Areopagus. “May we hear,” they asked, “what new teaching this is which you are giving?

²⁰For you are bringing some strange things to our notice, and we should like to know what they mean.”

²¹(All Athenians and the foreigners staying in the city found no time for anything else but telling, or listening to, the last new thing.)

²²So Paul took his stand in the middle of the Court, and said — “People of Athens, on every hand I see signs of your being very devout.

²³For as I was going about, looking at your sacred shrines, I came upon an altar with this inscription — ‘To an Unknown God.’ What, therefore, you worship in ignorance, that I am now proclaiming to you.
