17:16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, 1 his spirit was greatly upset 2 because he saw 3 the city was full of idols. 17:17 So he was addressing 4 the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles 5 in the synagogue, 6 and in the marketplace every day 7 those who happened to be there. 17:18 Also some of the Epicurean 8 and Stoic 9 philosophers were conversing 10 with him, and some were asking, 11 “What does this foolish babbler 12 want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign gods.” 13 (They said this because he was proclaiming the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.) 14
