8:39-40 After the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away, Philip continued northward from Azotus (=Ashdod, 1 Sam 5:1-7; Neh 13:23-24; Isa 20:1) up the coast, preaching in every town along the way until he came to Caesarea, where he settled (Acts 21:8). • Caesarea Maritima, a major seaport on the Mediterranean, was the seat of Roman government in Judea. It was built by Herod the Great about 22–9 BC and was named to honor Caesar Augustus.
