Athenians

Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible.

While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply disturbed in his spirit to see that the city was full of idols.

Now all the Athenians and foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing more than hearing and articulating new ideas.

Then Paul stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I see that in every way you are very religious.

After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.

So when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left on our own in Athens.
