Acts 17:17-21 So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be there.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ So he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, and in the market place every day with those who happened to be there. ¹⁸ And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some said, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities,"because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. ¹⁹ And they took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you present? ²⁰ For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean." ²¹ (Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)
