Acts 9:42

42. Joppa The extremely ancient, but not very secure, seaport of the Mediterranean coast before Herod built Cesarea, built on a well-rounded elevation overlooking the Mediterranean. It was an ancient Philistine city, not acquired by Israel until the time of David. When Solomon organized a Hebrew marine, Joppa became port for Jerusalem. In Peter’s day it was a flourishing city. Under its present name, Jaffa, it has about seven thousand inhabitants, of whom one half or more are Christians.

All Joppa The writer does not say of Joppa, as of Lydda, that all turned to the Lord, for Joppa was a large city, but that all heard of it and many believed.
