Acts 17:16 in Context — Acts 17
14 Mas então no mesmo instante os irmãos despediram a Paulo, para que fosse ao mar; mas Silas e Timóteo continuaram ali.
15 E os que conduziram a Paulo, levaram-no até Atenas; e tendo recebido ordem para Silas e Timóteo, para que viessem a ele o mais rápido [que pudessem] ,eles foram embora.
16 E enquanto Paulo os esperava em Atenas, seu espírito se incomodava dentro dele, ao ver a cidade tão dedicada à idolatria.
17 Então ele disputava muito na sinagoga, com os judeus, e com os religiosos; e no mercado a cada dia, com os que vinham [até ele] .
18 E alguns dos filósofos epicureus e estoicos discutiam com ele; e uns diziam: O que quer dizer este tagarela?E outros: Parece que ele é pregador de deuses estranhos.Porque ele lhes anunciava o Evangelho de Jesus e a ressurreição.
