Philippi
Philippi is a Macedonian city named in Acts, Philippians, and 1 Thessalonians, while Matthew and Mark mention Caesarea Philippi.
In the Bible, Philippi is a city in Macedonia: Acts calls it the first city of that district and a colony (Acts 16:12). The curated description identifies it as the first European city to receive the gospel and as the site of Lydia's conversion, Paul's imprisonment, and miraculous release.
The name occurs in at least 6 verses across 5 books. Acts records travel toward Philippi and a later departure from it for Troas (Acts 16:12; Acts 20:6). Philippians addresses holy ones in Philippi, while 1 Thessalonians recalls suffering and mistreatment there (Philippians 1:1; 1 Thessalonians 2:2). Matthew and Mark instead refer to Caesarea Philippi (Matthew 16:13; Mark 8:27).
