Azija
se koristi za označavanje Prokonzularne Azije, rimske provincije koja je obuhvatala zapadne delove Male Azije, a čiji je glavni grad bio Efes, u [Del 2:9 ; Del 6:9 ; Del 16:6 ; Del 19:10 ; Del 19:22 ; Del 20:4 ; Del 20:16 ; Del 20:18 ], itd., i verovatno Mala Azija u [Del 19:26 ; Del 19:27 ; Del 21:27 ; Del 24:18 ; Del 27:2 ]. Prokonzularna Azija je sadržala sedam crkava Apokalipse [Otk 1:11 ]. "Poglavari Azije" [Del 19:31 ] su bili određeni bogati građani koji su se godišnje birali da predsedavaju igrama i verskim festivalima u nekoliko gradova kojima su pripadali. Neki od tih "Azijarha" su bili Pavlovi prijatelji.

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.
