Deeds (Act) of Apostles 17:16-22

¹⁶And while Paul abode them at Athens, his spirit was moved in him, for he saw the city given to idolatry.

¹⁷Therefore he disputed in the synagogue with the Jews, and with men that worshipped God, and in the doom place or the chapping, by all days to them that heard.

¹⁸And some Epicureans, and Stoics, and philosophers disputed with him. And some said, What will this sower of words say? And others said, He seemeth to be a teller of new fiends; for he told to them Jesus, and the again-rising.

¹⁹And they took, and led him to Areopagus, that is, a common school, and said, May we know, what is this new doctrine, that is said of thee?

²⁰For thou bringest in some new things to our ears; therefore we will know, what these things will be.

²¹For all men of Athens and come-lings harboured, gave attention to none other thing, but either to say, either to hear, some new thing.

²²And Paul stood in the middle of Areopagus, and said, Men of Athens, by all things I see you as vain worshippers.
