Peter's Escape From Prison Peter's Escape From Prison Acts 12:1-18 King Herod was a wicked ruler. He was persecuting the Christians and even had the apostle James, John's brother, put to death. When he saw that the Jews were pleased about it, he had Peter arrested and put in prison. He wanted to make sure Peter didn't escape, so he put guards in the prison to guard him. There were four rotating shifts of four guards each. It would seem there would be no way for Peter to leave the prison. Surely he would be put on trial the next day. The church during this time was praying that God would take care of Peter. They wanted him to be back with them again. Peter was asleep in the prison. There were chains on each of his wrists, and there was a guard on each side of him and more guards at the doorway. However, nothing is too hard for God. Suddenly there was a bright light inside the prison, and an angel appeared. The angel struck Peter on the side to wake him and his chains fell off. "Quick, get up!" he said. Peter followed the angel's instructions when he told him to put on his clothes and sandals. Then he told him to wrap his coat around him and follow him. Peter obeyed though he didn't think it was really happening. He thought it was just a vision. Grade6_8_131.doc Page 3 of 13 Revised: 3/16/08 SUBJECT: More Concerning Peter/Church in Jerusalem Sixth - Eighth Grade Lesson # 131 Acts 12: 1-25 They passed by the first guard, then the second guard, and the guards didn't even see them. Were they asleep, or were they just blind to what was happening? There was still one more barrier to his freedom. The iron gate that led to the city was in front of them, and then without anyone pushing on it, the gate swung open by itself. They walked through the gate and went the length of one street. Then as suddenly as he had appeared, the angel left him. Peter stood in the quiet stillness of the dark street. It dawned on him what had just happened. It wasn't a vision. It had really happened! God had delivered him from Herod and the terrible fate that the king had planned for him. He must hurry to find his friends. He went to the home of Mary, John Mark's mother, where the church was gathered praying for him. He knocked at the outer entrance. A servant girl named Rhoda went to answer the door. Peter spoke and Rhoda recognized his voice. She was so excited she didn't even open the door. She ran back to the others and said, "Peter is at the door!" They thought she was out of her mind. How could it be Peter? Peter was in prison. "It must be his angel," they said. The Jews believed that everyone had a guardian angel, and this angel must be speaking with Peter's voice. Peter kept on knocking. Finally they opened the door and they were so surprised to see Peter standing there. Did they not believe that God could answer their prayers for Peter's release? Everyone started talking at one time. Peter held up his hand for them to be quiet, then he told them how God had sent an angel to deliver him. He instructed them to tell James and the others about his release. This was probably James, the brother of Jesus since James, the apostle had already been killed by Herod. Peter left to go to another place. What happened at the prison the next morning? They looked and looked for Peter and couldn't find him. The guards had been responsible for keeping him in prison, and if they failed in their duty, the penalty was death. Herod ordered that the four guards be executed. As for Herod, not many days later Herod appeared on his throne and gave a speech. The people said, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." Herod accepted their praise and did not give praise to God. Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.

Bu durum, ticaret ve vergi gelirlerinin sürekliliğini garantileme arzusundaki siyasal iktidarların istikrara önem vermelerinin bir sonucudur. İmkânlarını muhafaza etmek için de sık sık askerî seferler tertip etmişlerdir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Ortaçağ, Anadolu, Yollar, Ticaret Middle Ages Anatolia Trade Routes Abstract The development of the trade roads passing through Anatolian Peninsula continued throughout the Middle Ages. This was a result of the stability considered important by the political powers aiming to guarantee the continuity of the trade and tax revenues. They also arranged military expeditions over and over again to protect their opportunities. The occurrence of the developed and detailed routes, the majority of which were connected with distant countries, had been possible mainly under these conditions.

Arrive at the Corinth Canal for a brief stop and then continue on to the Acropolis of Corinth. Acro-corinth is the citadel of Corinth. It is situated to the southwest of the ancient city and rises to an elevation of 1883 ft. [574 m.]. Today it is surrounded by walls that are about 1.85 mi. [3 km.] long. The foundations of the fortifications are ancient—going back to the Hellenistic Period. The current walls were built and rebuilt by the Byzantines, Franks, Venetians, and Ottoman Turks. Climb up and visit the fortress. Then proceed to the Ancient city of Corinth. It was to this megalopolis where the apostle Paul came and worked, established a thriving church, subsequently sending two of his epistles now part of the New Testament. Here, we see all of the sites associated with his ministry: the Agora, the Temple of Apollo, the Roman Odeon, the Bema and Gallio’s Seat. The small local archaeological museum here is an absolute must! In Romans 16:23 Paul mentions his friend Erastus and • • we will see an inscription to him at the site.

Ahora se han de enumerar sus partes. Aunque se piense que esto es también una empresa interminable y que no ha de tratarse a la ligera sin ser objeto de una cierta crítica, en ninguna clase de asuntos es más justa la indulgencia, salvo que se tenga por extraño que uno que ha nacido hombre no posea todos los conocimientos humanos. Por eso, no seguiré a ningún autor en particular, sino en cada sección al que considere más fiable, ya que ha sido común en casi todos explicar con mayor diligencia los lugares desde los que estaban escribiendo. No rechazaré, por tanto, ni criticaré a ninguno. Se pondrán los escuetos nombres de los lugares y con toda la brevedad que se me alcance, dejando su notoriedad y las causas de ella para las secciones correspondientes.

    CHAPTER 38 THE GEOGRAPHY OF GALATIA Gal 1:2; Act 18:23; 1 Cor 16:1 Mark Wilson KEY POINTS • Galatia is both a region and a province in central Asia Minor. • The main cities of north Galatia were settled by the Gauls in the third cen- tury bc. • The main cities of south Galatia were founded by the Greeks starting in the third century bc. • Galatia became a Roman province in 25 bc, and the Romans established colonies in many of its cities. • Pamphylia was part of Galatia in Paul’s day, so Perga and Attalia were cities in south Galatia. GALATIA AS A REGION and their families who migrated from Galatia is located in a basin in north-cen- Thrace in 278 bc. They had been invited tral Asia Minor that is largely flat and by Nicomedes I of Bithynia to serve as treeless. Within it are the headwaters of mercenaries in his army. The Galatians the Sangarius River (mode rn Sakarya) were notorious for their destructive and the middle course of the Halys River forays, and in 241 bc the Pergamenes led (modern Kızılırmak). The capital of the by Attalus I defeated them at the battle Hittite Empire—Hattusha (modern of the Caicus. The statue of the dying Boğazköy)—was in eastern Galatia near Gaul, one of antiquity’s most noted the later site of Tavium. The name Galatia works of art, commemorates that victo- derives from the twenty thousand Gauls ry. 1 The three Galatian tribes settled in 1 .

But success has been less frequent, because the knowledge of coins is essentially a knowledge of details, and small treatises are apt to be un- readable when they contain too many references to particular coins, and unprofltably vague when such references are avoided. I cannot hope that I have passed safely between these two dangers ; indeed, my desire has been to avoid the second at all risk of encountering the former. At the same time it may be said that this book is not meant for the collector who desires only to identify the coins which he happens to possess, while caring little for the wider problems of history, art, mythology, and religion, to which coins sometimes furnish the only key.

    Historical Kestanbol Hot Springs: “The water that resurrects”* Tarihi Kestanbol Kaplıcaları: “Ölü Dirilten Su” Nilüfer Demirsoyi, Cem Hakan Başaranii, Sema Sandalcıiii İ Yrd Doç Dr, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Tıp Tarihi ve Etik AD, orcid.org/0000-0002-2647-0807 ii Araş Gör Dr, Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Tıp Tarihi ve Etik AD, orcid.org/0000-0002-4041-975X iii Doç Dr, Trakya Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Balkan Dilleri ve Edebiyatları Bölümü, orcid.org/0000-0003-0165-5941 ABSTRACT Alexandreia Troas, is an ancient city located within the present boundaries of Dalyan Village, Geyikli town in Ezine district of Çanakkale Province. It is mentioned as “Eski İstanbul” or “Eski İstanbolluk” in Pir-i Reis’s “Kitab-ı Bahriye”. According to Pir-i Reis, the city known as “Troy” by the Greeks, was formerly called “Troas” or “Troad” by the Miletians. The city, which has been completely abandoned to its own fate after the 19th century, is nowadays defined as the city of healing waters known as “Kestanbol Hot Springs”. Our study is about the historical character of the ancient region of the ancient Kestanbol, known as the rich hot water springs, and its extant healing practices. Kestanbol hot springs is a healing resource that preserved its function and importance throughout the Ancient, Byzantine and Ottoman periods. It can be seen that its chemical properties today are very well preserved by looking at the reports of its analysis made in Paris, France 123 years ago. It has been proven that Kestanbol hot springs, which can be utilized with different cures, is effective in gynaecological diseases related to infection, rheumatic diseases, arthritis, some bone tuberculosis, lymphadenopathy in kids, upper respiratory tract and lung diseases.

This article examines the three alternatives proposed by scholars. It explores the geographical and historical evidence for each route, looking especially at the extensive road system that existed in Pamphylia, Pisidia, and south Galatia in the first century. Bible atlases routinely depict one route and the reasons for this choice are discussed. Based on a review of the evidence, a fresh hypothesis for the route of the first journey is suggested. Keywords: Paul’s first journey, Perga, Pisidian Antioch, Via Sebaste, Roman roads, Acts .; . Introduction The routes that the apostle Paul took on his journeys across Asia Minor still remain in dispute. A case in point is the route of Paul’s first journey from Perga (Πέργη) to Pisidian Antioch. Scholars have suggested three possible routes with variations for this journey. Two of these routes are routinely depicted in Bible atlases, often with little awareness of the ancient road network or the topo- graphy of the area. On a popular level, the recent opening of the St Paul Trail in southern Turkey has also stirred up interest in the route of Paul’s first journey. Although the St Paul Trail does not follow the ancient routes exactly, Kate Clow’s experience in preparing the new path has provided fresh insights into the region’s history and topography.
