Explanation preview
These verses come from the "we" sections of Acts, where the narrator travels with Paul, so the writer is an eyewitness describing the missionary group's arrival. Philippi was a Roman colony, a city settled with Roman citizens and organized on Roman lines, and it was the first place in Europe where the gospel was preached.
