drb @Acts:17:15 @And they that conducted Paul , brought him as far as Athens ; and receiving a commandment from him to Silas and Timothy , that they should come to him with all speed , they departed . drb @Acts:17:16 @Now whilst Paul waited for them at Athens , his spirit was stirred within him , seeing the city wholly given to idolatry . drb @Acts:17:17 @He disputed , therefore , in the synagogue with the Jews , and with them that served God , and in the marketplace , every day with them that were there . drb @Acts:17:18 @And certain philosophers of the Epicureans and of the Stoics disputed with him ; and some said : What is it , that this word sower would say ? But others : He seemeth to be a setter forth of new gods ; because he preached to them Jesus and the resurrection . drb @Acts:17:19 @And taking him , they brought him to the Areopagus , saying : May we know what this new doctrine is , which thou speakest of ? drb @Acts:17:20 @For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears . We would know therefore what these things mean . drb @Acts:17:21 @(Now all the Athenians , and strangers that were there , employed themselves in nothing else , but either in telling or in hearing some new thing .) drb @Acts:17:22 @But Paul standing in the midst of the Areopagus , said : Ye men of Athens , I perceive that in all things you are too superstitious . drb @Acts:17:23 @For passing by , and seeing your idols , I found an altar also , on which was written : To the unknown God drb @Acts:17:24 @God , who made the world , and all things therein ; he , being Lord of heaven and earth , dwelleth not in temples made with hands ; drb @Acts:17:25 @Neither is he served with men 's hands , as though he needed any thing ; seeing it is he who giveth to all life , and breath , and all things : drb @Acts:17:26 @And hath made of one , all mankind , to dwell upon the whole face of the earth , determining appointed times , and the limits of their habitation . drb @Acts:17:27 @That they should seek God , if happily they may feel after him or find him , although he be not far from every one of us : drb @Acts:17:28 @For in him we live , and move , and are ; as some also of your own poets said : For we are also his offspring . drb @Acts:17:29 @Being therefore the offspring of God , we must not suppose the divinity to be like unto gold , or silver , or stone , the graving of art , and device of man . drb @Acts:17:30 @And God indeed having winked at the times of this ignorance , now declareth unto men , that all should every where do penance . drb @Acts:17:31 @Because he hath appointed a day wherein he will judge the world in equity , by the man whom he hath appointed ; giving faith to all , by raising him up from the dead . drb @Acts:17:32 @And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead , some indeed mocked , but others said : We will hear thee again concerning this matter . drb @Acts:17:33 @So Paul went out from among them . drb @Acts:17:34 @But certain men adhering to him , did believe ; among whom was also Dionysius , the Areopagite , and a woman named Damaris , and others with them .
