Acts 17:12-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. Many of them therefore believed; also of the Greek women of honorable estate, and of men, not a few.

13. But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed of Paul at Beroea also, they came thither likewise, stirring up and troubling the multitudes.

14. And then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul to go as far as to the sea: and Silas and Timothy abode there still.

15. But they that conducted Paul brought him as far as Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timothy that they should come to him with all speed, they departed.

16. Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he beheld the city full of idols.
