Treasury of Scripture So Paul departed from among them. Jump to Previous Council Departed Forth Midst PaulJump to Next Council Departed Forth Midst PaulActs 17 1. Paul preaches at Thessalonica, where some believe,5. and others persecute him. 10. He is sent to Berea, and preaches there. 13. Being persecuted by Jews from Thessalonica, 16. he comes to Athens, and disputes and preaches the living God, to them unknown; 32. whereby, though some mock, many are converted unto Christ. At that This phrase indicates a pivotal moment in the narrative. Paul has just delivered a sermon to the Athenians, addressing their altar to an "unknown god" and proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus. The phrase "at that" suggests a conclusion to his discourse, highlighting the immediate reaction of the audience. This moment is significant as it marks the end of Paul's engagement with the intellectual elite of Athens, a city known for its philosophical heritage. Paul left the Areopagus Persons / Places / Events 1. PaulThe apostle who is central to the Book of Acts, known for his missionary journeys and spreading the Gospel to the Gentiles. In Acts 17, he is in Athens, engaging with philosophers and sharing the message of Jesus Christ. 2. Areopagus A prominent rock outcropping in Athens, also known as Mars Hill. It was a place where the council of elders met and where philosophical discussions took place. Paul used this setting to address the Athenians about their religious beliefs. 3. Athens A city in Greece known for its rich history in philosophy, arts, and religion. It was a center of learning and culture during Paul's time. 4. Epicureans and Stoics Philosophers who engaged with Paul in Athens. The Epicureans pursued pleasure as the highest good, while the Stoics emphasized rationality and self-control. 5. Dionysius the Areopagite and Damaris Individuals mentioned later in Acts 17 who were among those who believed Paul's message after his speech at the Areopagus. Teaching Points Engaging Culture with the GospelPaul’s approach in Athens shows the importance of understanding and engaging with the culture around us to effectively communicate the Gospel. Boldness in Witnessing Despite being in a city full of idols and philosophical opposition, Paul boldly proclaimed the truth of Jesus Christ. God’s Sovereignty in Evangelism Paul’s departure from the Areopagus reminds us that the results of evangelism are in God’s hands. Our role is to faithfully share the message. The Power of the Gospel Even in a place like Athens, known for its intellectualism and idolatry, the Gospel had the power to transform lives, as seen in the conversion of Dionysius and Damaris. Respectful Dialogue Paul’s respectful engagement with the Athenians serves as a model for how Christians can discuss faith with those who hold different beliefs.
