It served as a venue for political discourse, philosophical debates, and social gatherings. The agora was typically surrounded by various public buildings, temples, and shops, making it a focal point of urban life. In the context of the New Testament, the agora was a place where apostles like Paul would engage with the public, preaching the Gospel and interacting with both Jews and Gentiles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from ageiró (to bring together)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an assembly, place of assembly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>market place (5), market places (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 58: ἀγορά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγορά</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(ᾶς</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀγείρω</span>, perfect <span class="greek2">ἤγορα</span>, to collect) (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">any collection of men, congregation, assembly.</span> <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">place where assemblies are held</span>; in the N.
