📚 Historical Context
In the book of Acts, Chapter 16, Paul and his companions are on their second missionary journey, having received a vision from God directing them to Macedonia. They set sail from Troas, a port city in Asia Minor, traveling directly to the island of Samothracia and then to Neapolis, which served as the gateway to Philippi. This voyage represents a pivotal moment in early church history, as it extends the spread of the Gospel from Asia to Europe for the first time.
