Acts 17:16-18 Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he* observed the city was full of idols.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Now while Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he* observed the city was full of idols. ¹⁷ So he was discussing in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles,* and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. ¹⁸ And even some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him, and some were saying, "What does this babbler want to say?" But others said,* "He appears to be a proclaimer of foreign deities," because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.
