The Key Word — διέρχομαι, dierchomaigenerated
The word διέρχομαι (dierchomai) is a verb meaning 'to pass through' or 'to traverse.' It indicates movement from one side to another, often used in the context of travel. In this verse, it is in the second aorist participle form, suggesting a completed action by Paul and Barnabas as they moved through Pisidia.
This word emphasizes the active role of Paul and Barnabas as they journeyed, illustrating their dedication to their mission. The participle form indicates that this action of passing through is closely linked to the main action of their journey.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The translations generally agree on the meaning of διελθόντες. The BSB uses 'passing through,' while the KJV and ASV opt for 'passed throughout.' The YLT uses 'having passed through,' which retains the participial aspect of the Greek.
For ἦλθον, the BSB and KJV translate it as 'they came,' while other translations like the ASV and WEB simply use 'came.' This reflects a slight variation in how the action of arrival is expressed.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains two main clauses connected by the conjunction καὶ, and. The first clause is governed by the participle διελθόντες, having passed through, indicating the action of traveling. The second clause features the verb ἦλθον, they came, which serves as the main action of arriving.
The structure highlights the sequential nature of their journey: first, they passed through Pisidia, and then they arrived in Pamphylia. This order is crucial for understanding the flow of their missionary efforts.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
διέρχομαι is also found in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word עָבַר (H5674), meaning 'to pass over' or 'through.' This connection emphasizes the continuity of the theme of journeying and movement in both the Old and New Testaments.
In the Septuagint, the concept of passing through often relates to significant events or transitions, which parallels the missionary activities of Paul and Barnabas as they spread the Gospel.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 14:24 tells us that after traveling through the region of Pisidia, Paul and Barnabas arrived in Pamphylia. This journey is part of their efforts to share the message of Jesus and establish new Christian communities.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
et loquentes verbum Domini in Perge, descenderunt in Attaliam :
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

διέρχομαι (dierchomai) means to pass through or traverse. It can refer to both physical movement and the spreading of reports. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts like traveling (e.g., Matthew 19:24) and spreading news (e.g., Luke 5:15). The word is built from the prefix διά (through) and a root meaning to come or go.
δι-έρχομαι ; impf. διηρχόμην ; fut. διελεύσομαι (Lk. ii. 35; see W. 86 (82); [οἵ. B. 58 (50)]); 2 aor. διῆλθον; pf. ptep. διεληλυθώς (Heb. iv. 14); [fr. Hom. down]; 1. where διά has the force of through (Lat. per; [cf. διά, C.]): to go through, pass through, [on its construetions cf. W. § 52,4, 8]; a. διά τινος, to go, walk, journey, pass through a place (Germ. den Durchweg nehmen): Mt. xii. 43; xix. 24 RL Tr mrg. WH mrg.; Mk. x. 25 [Rec.
διέρχομαι. OG/S 66535 (A.D. 49) καὶ τούτους δὲ στέγηι μόνον δέxer8at τοὺς διερχομένους. Field (WVo/es, p. 88) points out that the preposition must not be pressed, as in Jn 4° RV; all that it implies is merely that a certain distance is to be traversed, whether long or short, cf. Lk 24%, Ac 97. But this does not involve ignoring the difference between the compound and the AV simplex: the RV exaggeration 1s slight, and very effective. Ramsay Exp V. i. p. 385 ff. argues that δ. in Ac implies missionary travel. The veib is very common in connexion with past time, e.g. Rev L 18° (iii/p.c.) ὅταν δὶὲ ὃ πεπραμένος χρόνος ἅπας διελθῆι, P Oxy 11. 238° (A.D. 72) ἐν τῶι διεληλυθότι τετάρτωι ἔτει, 7).

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word Πισίδιος refers to Pisidia, a region in Asia Minor. It is consistently identified across various lexicons, including its geographical boundaries with Pamphylia, Phrygia, and Lycaonia. The New Testament mentions Pisidia in Acts 13:14 and 14:24, indicating its significance in early Christian journeys.

The former, but not the latter, reading correctly describes the condition of affairs at the time when Paul traveled in the country; see below):
1. Situation and History:
Pisidia, as a strict geographical term, was the name given to the huge block of mountain country stretching northward from the Taurus range where the latter overlooked the Pamphylian coast land, to the valleys which connected Apamea with Antioch, and Antioch with Iconium. It was bounded by Lycia on the West, by the Phrygian country on the North, and by Isauria on the East; but there is no…
Pisidia
A district in Asia Minor, to the north of Pamphylia. The Taurus range of mountains extends through it. Antioch, one of its chief cities, was twice visited by Paul (Acts 13:14; 14:21-24).
(pitchy) was a district in Asia Minor north of Pamphylia, and reached to and was partly included in Phrygia. Thus Antioch in Pisidia was sometimes called a Phrygian town. St. Paul passed through Pisidia twice, with Barnabas, on the first missionary journey, i.e., both in going from Perga to Iconium, (Acts 13:13,14,51) and in returning. (Acts 14:21,24,25) comp. 2Tim 3:11 It is probable also that he traversed the northern part of the district, with Silas and Timotheus, on the second missionary journey, (Acts 18:8) but the word Pisidia does not occur except in reference to the former journey.
A province of Asia Minor, separated from the Mediterranean by Pamphylia, lying on Mount Taurus and the high table land north of it, and running up between Phrygia and Lycaonia as far as Antioch its capital. The Pisidians, like most of the inhabitants of the Taurus range, were an unsubdued and lawless race; and Paul in preaching the gospel at Antioch and throughout Pisidia, Ac 13:14; 14:24, was in peril by robbers as well as by sudden storms and floods in the mountain passes. Churches continued to exist here for seven or eight centuries.

The Greek word ἔρχομαι (i.e., *erchomai*) means 'to come' or 'to go.' It is used in various contexts, often indicating arrival or return, and can apply to both people and events. The New Testament frequently employs this term, notably in references to the coming of the Messiah (e.g., Mt 11:3). Lexicons note its use with various prepositions to indicate direction or purpose.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The noun has the article before it when a demonstrative pronoun (υὗτος, ἐκεῖνος) belonging to it either precedes or follows [W. § 18, 4; B. § 127, 29-31]; as, ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος, Jn. ix. 24 [οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρ. 1, Tr mrg.

— THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.
1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.
This he calls the preaching of the cross.
2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.
3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.
Th' adorning thee with so much art,
Is but a barb'rous skill.

pam-fil'-i-a (Pamphulia): A country lying along the southern coast of Asia Minor, bounded on the North by Pisidia, on the East by Isauria, on the South by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the West by Lycia (Ac 2:10; 27:5).
1. Physical Features:
In the earliest time, Pamphylia was but a narrow strip of low-lying land between the base of the mountains and the sea, scarcely more than 20 miles long and half as wide. A high and imposing range of the Taurus Mountains practically surrounds it upon three sides, and, jutting out into the sea, isolates it from the rest of Asia Minor. Its two rivers, the Cestrus and the Cataractes, are said by ancient writers to have been navigable for several miles inland, but now the greater part of their water is diverted to the fields for irrigating purposes, and the general surface of the country has been…
Pamphylia
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).
(of every tribe), one of the coast-regions in the south of Asia Minor, having Cilicia on the east and Lycia on the west. In St. Paul’s time it was not only a regular province, but the emperor Claudius had united Lycia with it, and probably also a good part of Pisidia. It was in Pamphylia that St. Paul first entered Asia Minor, after preaching the gospel in Cyprus. He and Barnabas sailed up the river Cestrus to Perga. (Acts 13:13) The two missionaries finally left Pamphylia by its chief seaport Attalia. Many years afterward St. Paul sailed near the coast. (Acts 27:5)
A province of Asia Minor, having Cilicia east. Lycia west, Pisidia north, and the Mediterranean south. It is opposite to Cyprus, and the sea between the coast and the island is called the "sea of Pamphylia." The chief city of Pamphylia was Perga, where Paul and Barnabas preached, Ac 13:13; 14:24.
