18There were some teachers there who liked to talk about the things that people should believe. Some of them were called Epicureans and some were called Stoics. 17:18 The Epicureans believed the teaching of a man called Epicurus. The Stoics believed the teaching of a man called Zeno.After they talked to Paul, some of them said to each other, ‘Who is this silly man? He knows nothing and he talks too much!’ But some of these teachers said, ‘We think that he is talking about strange gods.’ They said this because Paul was telling people the good news about Jesus. He was also talking about the time when God will cause dead people to live again.
