The "word" (Greek: &#955;&#972;&#947;&#959;&#962;, logos) is a term rich in meaning, often used to denote not just spoken words but the divine reason or plan. In the context of Acts, it refers to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. The "Lord" here is understood as Jesus, affirming His divinity and authority. Historically, this proclamation was revolutionary, challenging both Jewish and Gentile audiences to reconsider their understanding of God and His covenant.<p><b>spread</b><br />The Greek word used here is &#948;&#953;&#941;&#966;&#949;&#961;&#949;&#964;&#959; (diephereto), which implies a continuous and expansive movement. This suggests not just a passive reception but an active dissemination of the gospel. The early church was characterized by its missionary zeal, driven by the Holy Spirit, to ensure that the message of Christ reached as many people as possible. This spreading is indicative of the transformative power of the gospel, which could not be contained within a single community or region.<p><b>throughout that region</b><br />The phrase indicates the geographical scope of the gospel's impact. The "region" refers to the area surrounding Pisidian Antioch, where Paul and Barnabas were ministering. This was a significant area in the Roman province of Galatia, a crossroads of trade and culture. The spread of the gospel here is emblematic of the early church's mission strategy, which often targeted urban centers from which the message could radiate outward.
