Rome in Acts 18

This place shows up in Acts 18:2: “He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.

Acts 18:2

“He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,”

What kids can learn

When you hear rome in Acts, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.

Read Acts 18:2 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
