Acts 17:21

All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.
[Paul is taken to the Areopagus, which literally means "hill of Ares," just a few hundred yards from the marketplace. It was once the meeting place of the Areopagus court that ruled the province, but in New Testament times it only had jurisdiction over religious and moral matters. It may be that Paul is brought before the court to be potentially sentenced to death for introducing a new foreign doctrine, see verse 18. It is now before this group of about 30 members and other curious onlookers that Paul is called to a hearing.]
