Καππαδοκία G2587
Cappadocia, a Roman province in central Asia Minor, home to early Christian communities
Cappadocia was a large inland region of Asia Minor, known for its rugged terrain and diverse population. Jews from Cappadocia were present at Pentecost (Acts 2:9), hearing the gospel in their own languages as the Spirit fell. Peter addresses believers scattered across Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia in his first epistle (1 Peter 1:1), indicating established Christian communities in this region by the mid-first century. The area later became a stronghold of early Christianity, producing influential church fathers and monastic traditions. Its mention in Acts and 1 Peter witnesses to the gospel's rapid geographic spread.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The two occurrences place Cappadocia in lists of regions. Acts 2:9 catalogs the Jewish diaspora represented at Pentecost, while 1 Peter 1:1 addresses Gentile and Jewish Christians scattered across Asia Minor. Multilingual glosses preserve the place name ('Cappadoce' in French, 'Kappadozien' in German). The region's prominence in early Christianity—visible in these texts and in later patristic writings—testifies to the Spirit's work in diverse and far-flung settings, fulfilling Jesus' commission to be witnesses 'to the ends of the earth.' 2×
