Wednesday's Living Water

Scripture

And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.
And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, "May we know what this new teaching is which you are proclaiming?
"For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean."
Acts 17: 18-20




También disputaban con él algunos de los filósofos epicúreos y estoicos. Y algunos decían: ¿Qué quiere decir este palabrero? Y otros: Parece ser un predicador de divinidades extrañas--porque les predicaba a Jesús y la resurrección.
Lo tomaron y lo llevaron al Areópago, diciendo: ¿Podemos saber qué es esta nueva enseñanza que proclamas?
Porque te oímos decir cosas extrañas; por tanto, queremos saber qué significan.
Hechos 17: 18-20
