Acts 17:21 in Context — Acts 17
19 Alors ils le prirent, et le menèrent à l’Aréopage, en disant: Pourrions-nous savoir quelle est cette nouvelle doctrine que tu enseignes?
20 Car tu nous fais entendre des choses étranges. Nous voudrions donc savoir ce que cela peut être.
21 Or, tous les Athéniens et les étrangers demeurant à Athènes ne passaient leur temps qu’à dire ou à écouter des nouvelles.
22 Paul, debout au milieu de l’Aréopage, dit: Hommes Athéniens, je vous trouve à tous égards extrêmement religieux.
23 Car, en parcourant votre ville et en considérant les objets de votre dévotion, j’ai même découvert un autel avec cette inscription: A un dieu inconnu! Ce que vous révérez sans le connaître, c’est ce que je vous annonce.
