Gevurot Meyruach Hakodesh 17:16-34

And awaiting them in Athens, the ruach of Rav Sha'ul was being distressed within him as he observed the city being full of elilim. Therefore, Rav Sha'ul was dialoguing and arguing in the shul with the Yehudim and with the yirei Elohim and also in the marketplace yom yom to the ones who happened to be there. Also some of the Apikoros (Epicurean) and Stoic philosophers started conversing with Rav Sha'ul, and some were saying, What might this babbler wish to say? And others said, He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign deities. They said this because of what Rav Sha'ul was proclaiming: Yehoshua and the Techiyas HaMesim. And having taken hold of Rav Sha'ul, they brought him to the Areopagus, saying, Are we able to have da'as of what this new teaching is, which is being spoken by you? For some surprising things you bring to our hearing. Therefore, we desire to have da'as of what these things mean. Now all the Athenians and the visiting foreigners and tourists in Athens used to spend time doing nothing but shmoozing about the latest novelty in the news. And Rav Sha'ul, taking his stand in the middle of the Areopagus, said, Anashim, Athenians, with respect to everything how very religious indeed I observe you to be. For passing through and looking carefully at your objects of worship, I found also an altar on which had been inscribed “To the unknown g-d.” Therefore, what you worship without da'as, this I proclaim to you. HASHEM, the One having made HaOlam and all the things in it, this One being Adon HaShomayim vaHaAretz, does not dwell in temples made by human hands. Nor is HASHEM served by human hands, as if HASHEM were in need of something, since He gives to all Chayyim and breath and everything. And HASHEM made from one ancestor every nation of anashim dwelling pnei kol haAretz. And HASHEM has set the zmanim and the fixed boundaries of their habitations, So that they would seek HASHEM, if efsher (perhaps) they might grope for Him and might find Him, though HASHEM is not far from each one of us. For “we live in Him and in Him we move and have our being,” as also some of your poets have said, “For we are all His offspring.” Therefore, being offspring of HASHEM, we ought not to think that HASHEMʼs essence is like gold or silver or stone, a tzelem (image) made by the skill and thought of Bnei Adam. While HASHEM has disregarded and let pass the Am HaAretz times of ignorance, now, however, HASHEM proclaims to kol bnei Adam everywhere, Make teshuva, Because he set a day in which he is about to bring MISHPAT on the Olam Hazeh in tzedek by an ISH whom he appointed, having furnished proof to all by having made him to stand up alive again from the Mesim. And when they heard of the Techiyas HaMesim, some were mocking Rav Sha'ul. But others said, We will hear you again about this. Thus did Rav Sha'ul go out from the midst of them. And some anashim became mishtatef in the chavurah of Rav Sha'ul, in that they had emunah, among whom were both Dionysius, a member of the Athenian Council of the Areopagus, and an isha by name Damaris, and others with them.
