Philosophers conferring with Paul · dominant
In Acts 17:18, the genitive plural masculine form occurs in the phrase naming philosophers who conferred with Paul. The APB renders the clause, “Some also of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers conferred with him,” before reporting their responses to his preaching of Jesus and the resurrection.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Acts 17:18, the APB presents the term within “the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers.” It confirms the verse’s group designation without isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
