KEYS TO UNDERSTANDING

• MAPS:  Look at the map on the previous lesson and find the cities named in this chapter.
  
• Zeus (Jupiter) and Hermes  (Mercury):  These were gods of the Greeks and Romans.  Zeus (Jupiter) was chief of the gods and Hermes (Mercury) was their messenger.
  
• Elders:  Men appointed by Paul and Barnabas in each church.  Older men had always been prominent in the government of the Jews and in the synagogues.  Elders of churches must have qualifications listed in Titus 1:5-9 and First Timothy 3:1-7.  Elders were also called Bishops (See Acts 20:17,28).
