18 Quelques philosophes épicuriens et stoïciens se mirent à parler avec lui. Et les uns disaient: Que veut dire ce discoureur? D’autres, l’entendant annoncer Jésus et la résurrection, disaient: Il semble qu’il annonce des divinités étrangères.
19 Alors ils le prirent, et le menèrent à l’Aréopage, en disant: Pourrions-nous savoir quelle est cette nouvelle doctrine que tu enseignes?
