Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from Τροία (Troia), referring to the region of ancient Troy.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Τρῳάς, as it is a specific geographical location in the Greek context of the New Testament. However, the concept of regions and cities as significant locations for divine encounters and missionary work can be paralleled with various Hebrew terms for cities and regions in the Old Testament.

Usage: The term "Troas" is used in the New Testament to refer to a specific geographical location where significant events in the early Christian church took place. It is mentioned in the context of Paul's missionary journeys.

Context: Troas, known in ancient times as the Troad, is a historical region located in the northwest part of Asia Minor, near the Aegean Sea. It is named after the ancient city of Troy, which is famous for its role in the Trojan War as depicted in Greek mythology. In the New Testament, Troas is significant as a location visited by the Apostle Paul during his missionary journeys.

The city of Troas, also known as Alexandria Troas, was a major port city in the region and served as a key point of departure for travel between Asia Minor and Europe. It is mentioned several times in the Acts of the Apostles and the Pauline Epistles. In Acts 16:8-10, Paul receives a vision in Troas, prompting him to travel to Macedonia, marking the spread of the Gospel into Europe: "So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas. During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, 'Come over to Macedonia and help us.' As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them" (BSB).

Troas is also mentioned in Acts 20:5-12, where Paul raises Eutychus from the dead after he falls from a window during a long sermon. Additionally, in 2 Timothy 4:13, Paul requests Timothy to bring his cloak and scrolls left in Troas, indicating the city’s role as a hub in Paul's ministry.

The archaeological remains of Troas reveal its historical significance, with ruins of ancient buildings, roads, and a large harbor. The city was an important center for trade and communication in the Roman Empire, facilitating the spread of Christianity in the first century.
