This place shows up in Acts 17:1: “Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 17:1
“Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.”
