Context: Παρθός (Parthos) is mentioned in the New Testament in the Book of Acts. Specifically, it appears in Acts 2:9, where Parthians are listed among the various groups of people who were present in Jerusalem during the Feast of Pentecost. This event is significant as it marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, enabling them to speak in various languages. The presence of Parthians, along with other nationalities, underscores the diverse and widespread nature of the Jewish diaspora at the time. Parthia was a significant region in the ancient world, known for its powerful empire that rivaled Rome. The mention of Parthians in Acts highlights the far-reaching impact of the early Christian message and the fulfillment of the prophecy that the gospel would be proclaimed to all nations.
