How to Use These Coloring Pages
While the kids color, ask them, 'What do you think Paul wanted to tell the Athenians?' Highlight the moment when Paul points out the idol 'to an unknown god' (Acts 17:23). For supplies, have them use colored pencils for detailed coloring, which usually takes about 30 minutes. You can follow up with a brief discussion about sharing their own faith.

More about these Bible coloring pages
During our Sunday school class, I handed out the Paul Athens coloring pages while discussing Paul’s visit to Athens. As my students colored in the images, they engaged with the story of how Paul pointed out the idol dedicated 'to an unknown god' (Acts 17:23). It's fascinating to see their expressions when they learn about sharing their faith. One of my students, Lily, who’s eight, said she wanted to tell her friends about Jesus, inspired by Paul's courage. The detailed images capture Paul speaking to the Athenians, along with scenes of their idols. I keep a few copies in my binder for quick access. The kids love these pages, and they make a great addition to our lesson on sharing the Gospel.
