“Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,”
Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; — the geographic expansion continues northward (Black Sea coast: Pontus; Roman Asia Minor provinces) and southward (Egypt and Libya). Asia was one of the Roman empire's most significant provinces, containing major cities like Ephesus; this region will later become a center of early Christianity. The systematic geographic listing emphasizes the gospel's reaching toward all known peoples.
