Acts 17:17-21

Riverside(i) 17 He often debated in the synagogue with the Jews and pious persons, and in the market-place every day with whoever happened to be there. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered him, and some said, "What can this idle talker mean?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods," because he was telling the good news of Jesus and the resurrection. 19 They took him and led him up on to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new doctrine that you are speaking of is? 20 For you are bringing strange and surprising things to our ears. We wish to know what these things are." 21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there spent their time in nothing else than in telling or hearing something newer than the last.
