Asië
Beskrywing
Asië
word gebruik om Prokonsulêre Asië aan te dui, 'n Romeinse provinsie wat die westelike dele van Klein-Asië omhels het, en waarvan Efese die hoofstad was, in [Hand 2:9 ; Hand 6:9 ; Hand 16:6 ; Hand 19:10 ; Hand 19:22 ; Hand 20:4 ; Hand 20:16 ; Hand 20:18 ], ensovoorts, en waarskynlik Klein-Asië in [Hand 19:26 ; Hand 19:27 ; Hand 21:27 ; Hand 24:18 ; Hand 27:2 ]. Prokonsulêre Asië het die sewe kerke van die Apokalips bevat [Op 1:11 ]. Die "hoofde van Asië" [Hand 19:31 ] was sekere welgestelde burgers wat jaarliks verkies is om oor die spele en godsdienstige feeste van die verskeie stede waaraan hulle behoort het, voor te sit. Sommige van hierdie "Asiarge" was Paulus se vriende.

Asia
is used to denote Proconsular Asia, a Roman province which embraced the western parts of Asia Minor, and of which Ephesus was the capital, in (Acts 2:9; 6:9; 16:6; 19:10; 19:22; 20:4; 20:16; 20:18), etc., and probably Asia Minor in (Acts 19:26; 19:27; 21:27; 24:18; 27:2). Proconsular Asia contained the seven churches of the Apocalypse (Rev 1:11). The "chiefs of Asia" (Acts 19:31) were certain wealthy citizens who were annually elected to preside over the games and religious festivals of the several cities to which they belonged. Some of these "Asiarchs" were Paul's friends.
