where
This word indicates a specific location, which in the context of Acts 14 refers to the region of Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and the surrounding area. The use of "where" emphasizes the geographical spread of the early Christian mission. Historically, these areas were part of the Roman province of Galatia, a region known for its diverse population and cultural influences. The apostles' presence in such a place underscores the universal nature of the gospel message, transcending cultural and ethnic boundaries.

they continued
The Greek root for "continued" is "διέμενον" (diemenon), which implies perseverance and steadfastness. This word highlights the apostles' unwavering commitment to their mission despite facing opposition and persecution. It reflects the early church's dedication to spreading the message of Christ, regardless of the challenges. This perseverance is a testament to their faith and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit working through them.

to preach
The Greek word for "preach" is "κηρύσσω" (kērussō), meaning to proclaim or herald. This term conveys the authoritative and public nature of the apostles' message. Preaching in the early church was not merely about sharing information; it was a bold declaration of the truth of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. The act of preaching was central to the apostolic mission, serving as the primary means of spreading the gospel and establishing the church.

the gospel
The term "gospel" comes from the Greek "εὐαγγέλιον" (euangelion), meaning "good news." In the context of Acts, the gospel refers to the message of salvation through Jesus Christ, His death, and resurrection. This good news was revolutionary, offering hope and redemption to all who believed. The gospel's transformative power is evident in the lives of those who accepted it, leading to the growth and expansion of the early church. The apostles' commitment to preaching the gospel reflects their understanding of its eternal significance and their desire to fulfill the Great Commission given by Christ.
