OET-RV ACT 17:18

18 Some of the Epikoureios and Stoikos philosophers enjoyed discussing things with him, but others just mocked him, “What does this babbler want to talk about now?”
 ¶ But others said, “Seems that he’s talking about strange demons,” because he was preaching the good message about Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) and coming back to life.
