Acts 17:32

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Now for and, A.V.; but for and, A.V.; concerning this yet again for again of this matter, A.V. Some mocked. Athenian skepticism could not accept so spiritual a truth as the resurrection of the dead; and Athenian levity of purpose deferred to another day the decisive step of accepting the salvation of the risen Savior, just as it had deferred resistance to Philip of Macedon till their liberties were gone and their country enslaved.

(For "We will hear thee again," comp. Acts 24:25.
