While
Paul waited. . . at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw
the city wholly given to idolatry.
Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with
the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered
him. And some said, What will this babbler say? Others said, He seemeth
to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus,
and the resurrection. . . . And when they heard of the resurrection of
the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this
matter. So Paul departed from among them. Howbeit certain men clave unto
him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a
woman named Damaris, and others with them.
--Acts
of the Apostles
