tonjab - The place in Acts 19:5 is Ephesus (see 19:1), one of the largest and most impressive cities of the ancient world, situated in western Asia Minor across the Aegean sea from Athens. Mentioned more than 20 times in the NT, Ephesus was a political, religious and commercial center in Asia Minor. Associated with the ministeries of Paul, Peter and the apostle John, it played a key role in the spread of early Christianity. Paul wrote a letter, the first of his 'prison epistles,' to the saints at Ephesus. ..... The dozen or so disciples who answered Paul's question in Acts 19:2 evidently were Jewish proselytes, disciples of John the Baptist, who became Christians under Paul's teaching (read the whole passage in context, Acts 19:1-7). --Hank | ||||||
