Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the name of a region in Asia Minor, known as Pisidia.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for the Greek term Πισιδία, as it refers specifically to a region in Asia Minor not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of regions and territories is common in both the Old and New Testaments, with various Hebrew terms used to describe lands and peoples.

Usage: The term Πισιδία is used in the New Testament to denote the region that Paul and Barnabas traveled through during their missionary journeys. It is mentioned specifically in the context of their travels in the Book of Acts.

Context: Pisidia was a region in the Roman province of Galatia, situated in the southern part of Asia Minor. It was bordered by Phrygia to the north, Lycaonia to the east, Pamphylia to the south, and Lycia to the southwest. The region was characterized by its mountainous terrain, which made travel and communication challenging.

In the New Testament, Pisidia is mentioned in the context of the Apostle Paul's first missionary journey. In Acts 13:13-14, Paul and his companions, including Barnabas, traveled from Paphos to Perga in Pamphylia, and then proceeded to Antioch in Pisidia. This city, Antioch of Pisidia, was an important center for the spread of Christianity in the region. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records this journey as follows: "From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. And from Perga they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down."

Pisidia was known for its diverse population, including Greeks, Romans, and indigenous Pisidians. The region's strategic location made it a crossroads for various cultures and trade routes. Despite its challenges, Pisidia played a significant role in the early Christian missionary efforts, as evidenced by Paul's work in the area.
