CAESAREA—CAPITAL OF JUDEA WEY ROME DE RULE

The time wey the things wey dey the book of Acts de happen, Caesarea na the capital of Judea and na Rome de rule. Na Caesarea the governor de stay, and Rome army get their headquarter for there too. Na Herod the Great build the city and e get the name of the place from Caesar Augustus name. Caesarea get everything wey other pagan cities get, like temple wey them de go worship Caesar Augustus and different type of theater or stadium. Many of the people wey live for there no be Jew.

Caesarea na city wey get place wey ship de park and them build-am well. Sebastos or (Augustus for Greek), na the name of the new place wey Herod build for ship to de park. The place get one big wall so that water wey de move with force from the sea, no go destroy-am. This one make-am easy for ship to enter and leave the place. Herod want make this city better pass Alexandria wey be the main place wey people wey dey the east side of the Mediterranean sea de trade. Even though say this thing wey Herod want no ever happen, people for the whole world come know Caesarea because where e dey, connect to many of the main place wey business people de pass go trade.

Philip preach for Caesarea and e fit be say na for there e born im children. (Acts 8:40; 21:8, 9) Cornelius wey be Roman army officer live for Caesarea too and na there e become Christian.—Acts 10:1.

Apostle Paul visit Caesarea many times. When people want kill-am after e become Christian, the disciples take-am comot from Jerusalem go Caesarea so that e go fit enter boat go Tarsus. From Jerusalem to Caesarea na 90 km. For the end of the second and third time wey Paul travel as missionary, e pass where ship de park for Caesarea as e de go Jerusalem. (Acts 9:28-30; 18:21, 22; 21:7, 8) Paul dey for prison for two years for Herod palace wey dey Caesarea. For there, Paul talk to Felix, Festus, and Agrippa and e come go Rome from there.—Acts 23:33-35; 24:27–25:4; 27:1.

WOMEN FIT TEACH FOR CONGREGATION?

Which work women do for congregation for the apostles time? Women de teach for congregation that time?

Jesus command im followers to preach the good news about the Kingdom and to make disciples. (Matt. 28:19, 20; Acts 1:8) This command to preach the good news na for everybody, both man, woman, boy, or girl. We know this one because of wetin dey Joel 2:28, 29 and apostle Peter show say wetin dey this verse happen for Pentecost 33 C.E.: “God talk say, ‘And for the last days, I go pour out some of my spirit ontop every kind of person, and una sons and una daughters go talk message from God . . . I go even pour out some of my spirit ontop my men slaves and ontop my women slaves, and them go talk message from God.’” (Acts 2:17, 18) As we don learn, Philip get four daughters wey de talk message from God.—Acts 21:8, 9.

But Bible make-am clear say na only men go fit be overseers or ministerial servants and na only them go fit teach for congregation. (1 Tim. 3:1-13; Titus 1:5-9) Paul even talk say: “I no give woman right to teach or to show say e get control over man, but make e continue to dey quiet.”—1 Tim. 2:12.
