← Acts 17:14	Acts 17:15 (KJV)	Acts 17:16 →
And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.	And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.	Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
