Acts 9:35 - Exposition

In Sharon for at Saron, A.V.; they turned for turned, A.V. In Sharon . The Greek represents the Hebrew נוֹרשָׁ , Sharon, which is the name of the rich plain which stretches from Joppa to Caesarea (see Isaiah 33:9 ). The name still lingers in the village of Saron. They turned ; manifestly an improvement on the A.V., as giving the sense of οἵτινες , viz. that all who saw the paralytic walking, turned, as a consequence, to the Lord, in whose Name the wonderful miracle had been wrought. A very extensive conversion of the people of Lydda and of Sharon is signified.
