Acts 17:18-20

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also debated with him. Some said, “What is this ignorant show-off^[a] trying to say?”

Others replied, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign deities”—because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.^(A)

¹⁹ They took him and brought him to the Areopagus,^[b] and said, “May we learn about this new teaching you are presenting?^{(B) 20} Because what you say sounds strange to us, and we want to know what these things mean.”
