Paul in Athens: Confronting Idolatry

Acts 17:16-21

and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry,

therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the market-place every day with those who met with him.

And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were saying, `What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others, `Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good news,

having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought him , saying, `Are we able to know what is this new teaching that is spoken by thee,

for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;'

and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear some newer thing.
