Alexandria in the Early Twentieth Century

Alexandria in the Early Twentieth Century


‎Alexander the Great founded Alexandria in 331 B.C. The Septuagint translators here translated the Hebrew scriptures into Greek. There were so many people from Alexandria in first-century Jerusalem that they had, at least, one synagogue of their own, probably holding services at least partly in Greek as opposed to the Aramaic of the Judeans.
‎Acts 6:9, Acts 18:24, Acts 27:6, Acts 28:11
