Cyrene

구레네

Named at Acts 2:10 in “the parts of Libya around Cyrene,” in the words of the multitude that came together on the day of Pentecost. At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together and is bewildered, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 11:20 says that some of those who were scattered, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus; and 13:1 names Lucius of Cyrene among the prophets and teachers in the assembly that was at Antioch.

  • ACT 2:1–13, engwebp

    1Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

    2Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

    3Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.

    4They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

    5Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky.

    6When this sound was heard, the multitude came together and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language.

    7They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?

    8How do we hear, everyone in our own native language?

    9Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia,

    10Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

    11Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

    12They were all amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”

    13Others, mocking, said, “They are filled with new wine.”

    19They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

    20But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

    21The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

    1Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

    2As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

    3Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
