“And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.”
As Peter traveled about the country, he went to visit the Lord's people who lived in Lydda.—the shift from Saul to Peter marks a transition in the narrative; Peter now becomes the active apostolic representative. Lydda (later Diospolis, modern Lod) lies southwest of Joppa on the coastal plain. The visitation pattern (going about to strengthen churches) will characterize Peter's ministry in these chapters.
