지명

다른 표기: Achaia,Asia

[Easton 한국어 번역] 본래 헬라의 펠로폰네소스 북서부에 있는 좁고 긴 지역의 이름이었다. 후에 로마인들은 이 이름을 현재 모레아라고 불리는 펠로폰네소스 전체와 헬라 남부에 적용하였다. 당시 이곳은 그들이 헬라를 지배하게 되었을 때 그 나라를 나눈 두 속주 가운데 하나였다. 다른 하나는 마게도냐였다. 신약성경에서는 언제나 이처럼 확대된 후자의 의미로 이 이름을 사용한다(행 18:12, 27; 19:21; 롬 15:26; 16:5 등). 누가가 사도행전을 기록하던 당시 이곳은 총독이 다스리는 통치 형태 아래 있었다. 그러므로 갈리오에게 아가야의 ‘대리관’, 곧 총독이라는 적절한 칭호가 주어졌다(행 18:12).

[Easton] The name originally of a narrow strip of territory in Greece, on the north-west of the Peloponnesus. Subsequently it was applied by the Romans to the whole Peloponnesus, now called the Morea, and the south of Greece. It was then one of the two provinces (Macedonia being the other) into which they divided the country when it fell under their dominion. It is in this latter enlarged meaning that the name is always used in the New Testament (Acts 18:12, 27; 19:21; Rom. 15: 26; 16:5, etc.). It was at the time when Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles under the proconsular form of government; hence the appropriate title given to Gallio as the “deputy,” i.e., proconsul, of Achaia (Acts 18:12). [Smith] (trouble) signifies in the New Testament a Roman province which included the whole of the Peloponnesus and the greater part of Hellas proper, with the adjacent islands. This province, with that of Macedonia, comprehended the while of Greece; hence Achaia and Macedonia are frequently mentioned together in the New Testament to indicate all Greece. (Acts 18:12; 19:21; Romans 15:26; 16:5; 1 Corinthians 16:15; 2 Corinthians 7:5; 9:2; 11:10; 1 Thessalonians 1:7,8) In the time of the emperor Claudius it was governed by a proconsul, translated in the Authorized Version “deputy,” of Achaia.
