“Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:”
Paul and Silas traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia and came to Thessalonica — Luke's precise geographical notation marks the main Roman road (Via Egnatia) through Macedonia, establishing historical veracity. The inclusion of these lesser-known cities demonstrates Luke's attention to actual travel routes rather than invented narrative.
