Context

Paul’s Address in the Areopagus

³²When they heard about the resurrection of the dead, some began to mock him, but others said, “We want to hear you again on this topic.”³³At that, Paul left the Areopagus. ³⁴But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.

Summary

In Acts 17:33, we see the response of some Athenians to Paul's preaching at the Areopagus. While some mocked and dismissed the message of the resurrection, others were open to hearing more and wanted to learn further. This verse illustrates the diverse reactions that the Gospel often elicits, ranging from ridicule to genuine interest. It serves as a reminder that not everyone will accept the message of Christ, but there will always be those who are receptive and willing to explore the truth.
