Acts 17:19

²⁷They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

²²Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

²⁴After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

²²Agrippa said to Festus, “I also would like to hear the man myself.” “Tomorrow,” he said, “you shall hear him.”

¹Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.

⁷Brothers, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. ⁸Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true light already shines.

²⁰For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

³⁴A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also love one another.

¹⁸Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
