Acts 17:17-21 And he spoke in the synagogue to the Jews and to those who feared God, and in the market place daily with them who were there.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And he spoke in the synagogue to the Jews and to those who feared God, and in the market place daily with them who were there. ¹⁸ Philosophers, also, who were of the teaching of EpÆi-cu-rus, and others, who were called StoÆics, argued with him. And some of them said, What does this babbler want? And others said, He preaches foreign gods: because he preached to them Jesus and his resurrection. ¹⁹ So they arrested him and brought him to the court house which is called Ar-e-opÆagus, and said to him, May we know what is this new doctrine which you preach? ²⁰ For you proclaim strange words to our ears and we want to know what these things mean. ²¹ (For all the Athenians and the strangers who were there, were uninterested in anything except something new to tell or to hear.)
