Adjective Epikoureios (epicurean) in the Gospels-Acts

(Translation from NRSV)


Acts

17: 18Also some Epicurean (Epikoureios) and Stoic philosophers debated with him. Some said, "What does this babbler want to say?" Others said, "He seems to be a proclaimer of foreign divinities." (This was because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the resurrection.)
