Acts 17:20
For thou bringest certain strange things (cenizonta gar tina eisfereiv). The very verb used by Xenophon (Mem. I) about Socrates. Cenizonta is present active neuter plural participle of cenizw and from cenov (verse Acts 17:18), "things surprising or shocking us."
We would know therefore (boulomeqa oun gnwnai). Very polite still, we wish or desire, and repeating gnwnai (the essential point).
