브루기아

Named at Acts 2:10 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 16:6 says, “When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,” and at 18:18–23 Paul, having sailed for Syria, lands at Caesarea and goes down to Antioch, and having spent some time there, departs and goes through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

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.”

⁷When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
⁸Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
⁹A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
¹⁰When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

¹⁸Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.
¹⁹He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
²⁰When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;
²¹but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
²²When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
²³Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.
