Bible Note: Good point, Steve! "The place of prayer was a typical feature of towns throughout the Roman empire, where Jews resident in each area gathered for social, commercial and religious purposes. Lydia, a common name in the Greco-Roman world, was from Thyatira, a major commercial city in Asia Minor. Her purple cloth was a luxury item, the dye for which was obtained from a type of sea snail along the coast of Syria and Palestine. Persuaded by Paul, she and her entire household are converted and baptized." Cambridge Annotated Study Bible "Sabbath Sabbath: v. 13; Acts 17:2. (Gen 2:3; Mat 12:1, note)" New Scofield Bible "where prayer was customarily made: According to Jewish custom, a congregation consisted of ten households. If ten male household heads could be found in a city, a synagogue was formed. If not, a place of prayer was established, usually near a river under the open sky. Paul’s habit was to go first to the synagogue of a new city. However in Philippi, he searched for a Jewish prayer meeting." Nelson Study Bible |
