Acts 17:18

18 Also some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers debated with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign divinities." (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)

Acts 17:18 In-Context

16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply distressed to see that the city was full of idols.
17 So he argued in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and also in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there.
18 Also some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers debated with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign divinities." (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)
19 So they took him and brought him to the Areopagus and asked him, "May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting?
20 It sounds rather strange to us, so we would like to know what it means."
