Antioch Quotes 

Consequently those who had been scattered by the tribulation that arose over Stephen went through as far as Phoe·ni?cia and Cy?prus and Antioch, but speaking the word to no one except to Jews only. However, out of them there were some men of Cy?prus and Cy·re?ne that came to Antioch and began talking to the Greek-speaking people, declaring the good news of the Lord Jesus. Furthermore, the hand of Jehovah was with them, and a great number that became believers turned to the Lord.

More Antioch Quotes 

Here we notice that in acts the term "Hellenes" (or "Greeks") is used with noteworthy propriety: the people of Thessalonica, of Berea, of Ephesus, of Iconium. and of Syrian Antioch are spoken of as Hellenes. Those were all cities which had no claim to be Roman, except in the general way of being parts of the Roman provinces Macedonia, Galatia, and Syria. They were counted Greek cities, and reckoned themselves as such.
