"And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And it was known throughout all Joppa,.... The report of such a miracle, and wrought upon a person of note, was soon spread all over the place, which was very
large, for it was a city, as it is called, Act 11:5 , and it had, as Josephus (q) says, villages and little towns or cities round about it; all which might go by the name of Joppa, and throughout which the fame of this miracle might pass: and many believed in the Lord; in the Lord Jesus Christ, whom Peter preached, and the saints in Joppa professed, and in whose name, and by whose power, this miracle was done. (q) De Bello Jud. l. 3. c. 8. sect. 4.
