How did Paul know the man was from Macedonia?
I think he was wearing the Macedonia soccer jersey, myself. Which also helps clarify another point our Bible class teacher wondered about: We never see the man again in Acts 16 because he was at an away match.
I always figured Paul knew b/c one tends to "know" things in dreams--or b/c perhaps he said, "Come over and help us in Macedonia." Or he was wearing Macedonian clothes.
I don't know. I'm sure your soccer jersey theory is much more plausible. :P
It is in there, in fact, and what is really remarkable is that NO ONE in the room mentioned that when he asked, "How did Paul know the man was from Macedonia?" I just said the soccer jersey thing 'cause, you know, I'm a smart aleck.
Umm...Well, there you go.

Yeah... I'm going with the "Come over to Macedonia and help us" part.
ReplyDeleteThat's kinda a give-away to me. :)
That's what I thought, too, but since our Bible class teacher seemed confused, I thought maybe it was a general mystery. :)
ReplyDeleteHeh...he probably forgot that phrase is in there--if it is. (I think it is...)
ReplyDeletepurachi - some kind of expensive, tiny Italian handbag?
