32 When 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.”

33 At that, Paul left the Areopagus.

34 But some joined him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others who were with them.
