Acts 17:22

Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and after receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was being provoked within him as he was observing the city full of idols.

And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is which you are speaking?

But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

but they had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a certain Jesus, a dead man whom Paul asserted to be alive.
