Places
Cyprus in Acts 11
SY-prus
This place shows up in Acts 11:19: “They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 11:19
“They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.”
What kids can learn
When you hear cyprus in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Acts 11:19 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
