Kisah Para Rasul 17:23
Konteks17:23 For as I went around and observed closely your objects of worship, 7 I even found an altar with this inscription: 8 ‘To an unknown god.’ Therefore what you worship without knowing it, 9 this I proclaim to you.

[11:26] 2 tn Grk “So it happened that” The introductory phrase ἐγένετο (egeneto, “it happened that”), common in Luke (69 times) and Acts (54 times), is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
