And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31

Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

32

And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

33

So Paul departed from among them.

34

Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

And when they had heard of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked. But others said: We will hear thee again concerning this matter. So Paul went out from among them.

Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time. And so Paul went away from among them.
