They are like children sitting in the marketplace (agora | ἀγορᾷ | dat sg fem) and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we wailed in mourning, but you did not weep.’
And in his teaching he was saying, “Beware of the scribes, who like to parade around in flowing robes, and want greetings in the marketplaces (agorais | ἀγοραῖς | dat pl fem)
They do not eat anything from the marketplace (agoras | ἀγορᾶς | gen sg fem) unless it is purified by washing. And there are many other customs that they have received as tradition to keep, like the washing of cups, pots, and copper bowls, and dining couches.)
And wherever he entered villages, towns, or rural areas, they would place the sick in the marketplaces (agorais | ἀγοραῖς | dat pl fem) and implore him that they might touch just the fringe of his cloak. And as many as touched him were made well.
For as I went around and observed your objects of worship, I found also an altar on which was inscribed, ‘To an unknown (agnōstō | ἀγνώστῳ | dat sg masc) god.’ So what you worship without knowing, this I proclaim to you.
