Παμφυλία G3828
Pamphylia; a coastal province of southern Asia Minor through which Paul traveled on his missionary journeys.
A proper noun identifying Pamphylia, a Roman province on the southern coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey) between Lycia and Cilicia. It features in the book of Acts as a geographical marker along Paul's missionary routes. Jews from Pamphylia were present at Pentecost (Acts 2:10). Paul and Barnabas passed through on the first journey, arriving at Perga in Pamphylia (Acts 13:13; 14:24), where John Mark famously departed — a decision later cited as grounds for the sharp disagreement between Paul and Barnabas (Acts 15:38). Paul's ship sailed past Pamphylia en route to Rome (Acts 27:5).
Senses
1. sense 1 — Pamphylia — a Roman province along the southern coast of Asia Minor, situated between the Taurus Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. The name likely derives from the Greek for 'of every tribe' (πᾶν + φυλή), reflecting its mixed population. In the NT it appears exclusively in Acts, serving as a recurring waypoint in early church history: Pamphylian Jews witness Pentecost (Acts 2:10), Paul enters the province at Perga during his first missionary journey (Acts 13:13), returns through it later (Acts 14:24), and the region becomes associated with John Mark's controversial departure (Acts 15:38). Paul's voyage to Rome also passes its coast (Acts 27:5). The multilingual forms — Spanish 'Pamfylía,' French 'Pamphylie,' German 'Pamphylien' — all transliterate from the Greek Παμφυλία. 5×
