Act 17:18

Act 17:18Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be advocating foreign deities," because he preached Yeshua and the resurrection.

Act 17:19

Act 17:19They took hold of him, and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is, which is spoken by you?

Act 17:22Sha'ul stood in the middle of the Areopagus, and said, "You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

Act 17:23

Act 17:23For as I passed along, and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.' What therefore you worship in ignorance, this I announce to you.

Act 17:24

Act 17:24The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and eretz, doesn't dwell in temples made with hands,

Act 17:25

Act 17:26He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the eretz, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings,

Act 17:27

Act 17:27that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

Act 17:28

Act 17:28'For in him we live, and move, and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.'

Act 17:29

Act 17:29Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

Act 17:30

Act 17:30The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

Act 17:31

Act 17:31because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; whereof he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead."
