When Jesus was on earth, there were communities of Jews in Egypt and other parts of North Africa, as well as Greece, Asia Minor, and Mesopotamia.
Pada abad pertama, sewaktu Yesus berada di bumi, orang Yahudi tersebar di seluruh Kekaisaran Romawi, seperti di Mesir dan di bagian - bagian lain Afrika Utara, juga di Yunani, Asia Kecil (Turki), dan Mesopotamia (Irak).
