Ptolemais, a coastal city in Phoenicia, modern-day Acre in northern Israel
This proper noun identifies a coastal city in ancient Phoenicia, located in what is now northern Israel. Originally called Acco, it was renamed Ptolemais during the Hellenistic period after one of the Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt. The city served as an important Mediterranean port. Luke mentions Ptolemais as one of the stops on Paul's final journey to Jerusalem, where he greeted the believers and stayed one day. The multilingual glosses simply transliterate the name across languages, reflecting its status as a proper geographical designation.

1. sense 1 — Acts 21:7 records Paul's voyage from Tyre: 'When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for one day.' The city served as a waypoint on Paul's journey to Jerusalem, where a community of believers already existed. The transliterated name appears consistently across translations. This brief mention indicates the spread of Christianity along the Phoenician coast and Paul's connection to these scattered communities. The one-day stay suggests a brief fellowship and mutual encouragement before continuing toward Jerusalem and Paul's awaiting trials. 1×
