“And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.”
This became known all throughout Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.—the healing's witness-power (it 'became known') precipitates mass conversion; the sign-wonder sequence climaxes in faith. Joppa (modern Jaffa, a Mediterranean port) becomes a believing community through this demonstration of resurrection power. The pattern holds: apostolic sign → public witness → corporate faith.
