Ταρσεύς G5018
of Tarsus, a native or inhabitant of Tarsus
This ethnic adjective identifies someone as coming from Tarsus, the capital of Cilicia in Asia Minor, Paul's hometown. Acts 9:11 has the Lord direct Ananias to ask for Saul of Tarsus on Straight Street. In Acts 21:39, Paul identifies himself to the Roman tribune as a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no obscure city. Paul's Tarsian identity shaped his multilingual, multicultural formation.

1. sense 1 — Designates someone as a native or inhabitant of Tarsus, the important commercial and cultural center in Cilicia. The transliterations preserve the Greek adjectival form. Both Acts occurrences identify Paul through his hometown: God directs Ananias to 'Saul of Tarsus' (9:11), and Paul introduces himself to the tribune as a Tarsian Jew (21:39). This identity connected Paul to a cosmopolitan Greek city, Roman provincial capital, and center of Stoic philosophy, equipping him uniquely for cross-cultural gospel ministry. 2×
