Acts 16:6
Phrygia. This was a Roman province west of Lycaonia in Asia Minor,
running down to the seacoast of the Aegean Sea.
Galatia lay on the north of Lycaonia, and was entirely in the
interior. It received its name from a settlement of Gauls, an offshoot
of a Gallic invasion of Greece in the third century before Christ. It
became a Roman province in A.D. 26. No record is made here of the
results of this tour, but as we elsewhere learn of numerous churches in
Galatia shortly after this, we are justified in the inference that they
were planted at this time.
Forbidden . . . to preach the word. The Spirit now had other work
for them.
Asia. By Asia is meant, not the great quarter of the world so named,
but the province so called by the Romans, of which Ephesus was the
capital.
