Phrygia was known for its diverse population and was a center for early Christian activity. Paul traveled through Phrygia during his missionary journeys (<a href="/acts/16-6.htm">Acts 16:6, 18</a>:23). Pamphylia, located on the southern coast, was a region Paul visited during his first missionary journey (<a href="/acts/13-13.htm">Acts 13:13</a>). The mention of these regions highlights the widespread nature of the Jewish diaspora and the early spread of Christianity.Egypt Egypt was a significant center of Jewish life outside of Israel, with a large Jewish population in Alexandria. This reflects the historical context of the Jewish diaspora, which began with the Babylonian exile and continued under various empires. Egypt's mention here underscores the fulfillment of prophecy regarding the spread of God's word to all nations (<a href="/isaiah/19-19.htm">Isaiah 19:19-25</a>). The presence of Jews from Egypt at Pentecost signifies the gathering of God's people from diverse regions.and the parts of Libya near Cyrene Cyrene was a city in present-day Libya, North Africa, and had a substantial Jewish community. Simon of Cyrene, who carried Jesus' cross, was from this region (<a href="/mark/15-21.htm">Mark 15:21</a>). The mention of Cyrene indicates the far-reaching influence of Judaism and the early Christian message. It also highlights the multicultural nature of the early church, as people from various backgrounds came to faith in Christ.visitors from Rome Rome was the heart of the Roman Empire and had a significant Jewish population. The presence of Roman visitors at Pentecost is crucial, as it foreshadows the spread of Christianity to the heart of the empire. Paul later writes to the Roman church, emphasizing the gospel's power and the unity of Jewish and Gentile believers (<a href="/romans/1-16.htm">Romans 1:16, 11</a>:11-24).

The verb is peculiar to St. Luke in the New Testament, and is used by him, as in <a href="/acts/17-18.htm" title="Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seems to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached to them Jesus, and the resurrection.">Acts 17:18</a>, of the strangers and visitors of a city.Jews and proselytes.--The words may possibly be applicable to the whole preceding list; but they read more like a note specially emphasising the prominence of the Roman proselytes in that mixed multitude of worshippers. It lies in the nature of the case, that they were proselytes in the full sense of the term, circumcised and keeping the Law. Looking to St. Luke's use of another word ("they that worship God," as in <a href="/acts/16-14.htm" title="And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken of Paul.">Acts 16:14</a>; <a href="/acts/17-4.htm" title="And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.">Acts 17:4</a>; <a href="/acts/17-17.htm" title="Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.">Acts 17:17</a>) for those whom the Rabbis classed as "proselytes of the gate," it is probable that he used the term in its strictest sense for those who had been received into the covenant of Israel, and who were known in the Rabbinic classification as the "proselytes of righteousness."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/2.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - In Phrygia for Phrygia, A.V.; the parts for in the parts, A.V.; sojourners from for strangers of, A.V.; both Jews for Jews, A.V. Asia; i.e. "the western coast region of Asia Minor, including Caria, Lydia, and Mysia" (Meyer). "Ionia and Lydia, of which Ephesus was the capital, called Proconsular Asia" (Wordsworth and 'Speaker's Commentary.' See <a href="/acts/20-16.htm">Acts 20:16, 18</a>; <a href="/revelation/1-4.htm">Revelation 1:4</a>, etc.). Egypt, etc. These represent the third great dispersion, that effected by Ptolemy Lagus. Some of this part of the dispersion are mentioned as very hostile to Stephen (<a href="/acts/6-9.htm">Acts 6:9</a>). "Two-fifths of the population of Alexandria were Jews." "Jews formed one quarter of the population of Cyrene" ('Speaker's Commentary.') See <a href="/matthew/27-32.htm">Matthew 27:32</a> and <a href="/acts/13-1.htm">Acts 13:1</a>). And sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes. The copula and couples the οἱ ἐπιδημοῦντες Ῥωμαῖοι with the οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν Μεσοποταμίαν, etc., of ver. 9. It is literally, those of us who are Roman sojourners at Jerusalem, whether Jews by race or proselytes. They were equally Roman sojourners, whether they were Jews whose home was at Rome or whether they were proselytes; and it is an interesting fact that there were such proselytes in the great capital of the heathen world. Sojourners, as in <a href="/acts/17-21.htm">Acts 17:21</a>, the strangers sojourning at Athens. Many good commentators - Alford, Meyer, Lechler (in Lange, 'Bibel Works'), etc. - take the words "Jews and proselytes" as applying to the whole preceding list, not to the Roman sojourners only; but in that case one would not expect Cretans and Arabians to follow. <a href="/commentaries/acts/2-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Phrygia Φρυγίαν (Phrygian) Noun - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5435.htm">Strong's 5435: </a> Probably of foreign origin; Phrygia, a region of Asia Minor. and καὶ (kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely.
