Acts 17 — Context

27

that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;

28

29

"Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.

30

"Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,

31

32

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, "We shall hear you again concerning this."

33

So Paul went out of their midst.
