Apostelgeschichte 16:8 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 16:8

And they passed by Mysia
Without stopping or staying there, though they came to it:

came down to Troas;
either the country of Troas, as the Syriac version renders it; which, according to Solinus F13, is bordered on the north part of Galatia, and was near to Lycaonia, Pisidia, and Mygdonia on the south, and to Lydia on the east, and to Mysia and Caria on the north: or rather the city of Troas, which Pliny says {n}, was formerly called Antigonia, now Alexandria, a colony of the Romans. Antigonus king of Asia called it Troas at first, because it was in the country, and near where Troy stood, but afterwards he called it, according to his own name, Antigonia; but Lysimachus king of Thrace having got this city into his hands, repaired it, and called it after the name of Alexander, Alexandria; and to distinguish it from Alexandria in Egypt, and other cities of the same name in other places, it was called Alexandria Troas.

Apostelgeschichte 16:8 In-Context

6 Sie durchzogen aber Phrygien und die galatische Landschaft, nachdem sie von dem Heiligen Geiste verhindert worden waren, das Wort in Asien zu reden;
7 als sie aber gegen Mysien hin kamen, versuchten sie nach Bithynien zu reisen, und der Geist Jesu erlaubte es ihnen nicht.
8 Als sie aber an Mysien vorübergezogen waren, gingen sie nach Troas hinab.
9 Und es erschien dem Paulus in der Nacht ein Gesicht: Ein gewisser macedonischer Mann stand da und bat ihn und sprach: Komm herüber nach Macedonien und hilf uns!
10 Als er aber das Gesicht gesehen hatte, suchten wir alsbald nach Macedonien abzureisen, indem wir schlossen, daß der Herr uns gerufen habe, ihnen das Evangelium zu verkündigen.
