What Does Acts 2:10 Mean?
The catalog moves on through Phrygia and Pamphylia, crosses to Egypt and the Libyan districts around Cyrene, and reaches as far as Rome itself. Among the hearers are Jews by birth and proselytes — converts who had embraced the faith of Israel from outside it.
The mention of proselytes quietly widens the circle: the message is already touching those drawn to God from the nations. And the visitors from Rome hint at where this story will end, for Acts closes with the gospel preached in that very city. What God begins in Jerusalem he intends for the capitals of the world — and for every kind of hearer.
