What the Fathers say

Acts 17:33

Eastern Fathers

John Chrysostom

"And so," it says, "Paul went forth." How? Having persuaded some; derided by others. "But certain men," it says, "clave unto him, and believed, among whom was also Dionysius the Areopagite and some others." He did convert both Dionysius the Areopagite, and some others. For those who were careful of right living, quickly received the word; but the others not so.

Theophylact of Ohrid

"So Paul departed from among them." How? Having persuaded some, but being mocked by others.
