AI summary: Pamphylia matters less as a single city and more as a mission corridor. Acts places people from Pamphylia in Jerusalem at Pentecost, then later uses the province as part of Paul's route through Perga and the southern coast of Asia Minor. It is also tied to the difficult moment when John Mark leaves the mission party. The cross references present Pamphylia as a coastal province woven into the movement, setbacks, and expansion of the apostolic mission.1

Paul and his company, loosing from Paphos, sailed north-west and came to Perga, the capital of Pamphylia (Acts 13:13, 14), a province about the middle of the southern sea-board of Asia Minor. It lay between Lycia on the west and Cilicia on the east. There were strangers from Pamphylia at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (2:10). 3
