📚 Historical Context
In the Book of Acts, Philip, a deacon of the early church, was supernaturally transported by the Holy Spirit after baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch, as part of the church's rapid expansion amid persecution. He then appeared in Azotus, an ancient coastal city in the region of Palestine, and continued his missionary work by preaching the Gospel in various cities until he reached Caesarea, a major Roman port. This highlights how the early believers spread Christianity beyond Jewish territories into Gentile areas.
