It was located on the Orontes River and was the third-largest city in the Roman Empire, after Rome and Alexandria. Antioch in Syria is significant in the New Testament as the place where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26). It was a hub for missionary activity, with Paul and Barnabas being sent out from there on their missionary journeys (Acts 13:1-3). The church in Antioch played a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel to the Gentiles and was a model of a diverse and vibrant Christian community.
