The Mixed Response to Paul’s Sermon

Acts 17:32-34

And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some, indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again concerning this;'

and so Paul went forth from the midst of them,

and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among whom is also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name Damaris, and others with them.
