Acts 17:18

Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him . And some said , What does this babbler wish to say ? Others said, He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities — because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection .

A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.

Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods : because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
