Acts 16:12

From there we continued to Philippi, a leading (large, first) city in the Macedonian district [the gateway to the area from the west] – a [Roman] colony.
[The city is named after Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, who annexed it to his kingdom in 356 BC. The Romans invaded the city in 167 BC, and it then became a military colony, with a population consisting of many retired Roman soldiers.]
We stayed there for a few days. [They rested for a few days after their journey before beginning their missionary work. A brief phrase in passing, but nevertheless an important note that rest is also necessary.]
[It is likely that Luke, the author of the Acts of the Apostles, has a special connection to Philippi. This is confirmed by the detailed description of the city and by the "we sections" that begin and end in the vicinity of Philippi, see Acts 16:9, 40. Luke also stays here and joins Paul when he comes to Philippi again on his third journey, see Acts 20:6.]
