The decision to leave the next day suggests a sense of urgency or divine timing in Paul's travels. It reflects the itinerant nature of early Christian missions, where the apostles moved frequently to spread the Gospel. we went on to Caesarea
Caesarea was a significant port city on the Mediterranean coast, built by Herod the Great. It served as the Roman administrative capital of Judea. The city's strategic location made it a hub for travel and communication, facilitating the spread of Christianity. Caesarea is also notable for being the place where Cornelius, the first Gentile convert, was baptized by Peter (Acts 10). and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist
Philip the evangelist is distinguished from Philip the apostle. He was one of the seven deacons chosen inActs 6:5 to serve the early church in Jerusalem. Philip is known for his evangelistic work, including the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). His title as "the evangelist" highlights his role in spreading the Gospel beyond Jewish communities. who was one of the Seven
This refers to the seven men chosen to assist the apostles by managing the distribution of food and resources to the early Christian community, particularly to the Hellenistic widows (Acts 6:1-6). This group is often considered the first deacons of the church. Their selection was based on their good reputation, wisdom, and being full of the Holy Spirit, indicating the importance of spiritual qualifications for church leadership. Persons / Places / Events 1. Philip the EvangelistPhilip was one of the original seven deacons chosen in Acts 6 to serve the early church. He is known for his evangelistic work, including the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8). 2.

Teaching Points The Role of EvangelistsPhilip exemplifies the calling of an evangelist, showing that sharing the Gospel is a vital part of Christian life. We are encouraged to be ready to share our faith in various contexts. Hospitality in Christian CommunityPhilip's willingness to host Paul and his companions highlights the importance of hospitality. As believers, we should open our homes and hearts to others, fostering fellowship and support. Service and LeadershipPhilip's selection as one of the Seven underscores the value of service in leadership. True leaders in the church are those who serve others selflessly. Continuity of MinistryPhilip's ongoing ministry, years after his initial appointment, reminds us of the enduring nature of our calling. We should remain faithful in our service to God throughout our lives. Unity in DiversityThe early church was composed of diverse individuals with different roles. This diversity, as seen in Philip's evangelistic work and hospitality, strengthens the body of Christ. Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Acts 21
Who was Philip in the Bible?
Acts 6:3 – Is there any historical evidence outside the Book of Acts to confirm the selection of these specific seven men “full of the Spirit and wisdom”?
Acts 21:9 – Why is there no further historical or scriptural mention of Philip’s four prophesying daughters or their specific prophecies?
What are the key events in the Book of Acts?(8) We that were of Paul's company departed.--Better, simply, we departed. The Greek which answers to the intervening five words is wanting in the best MSS., and seems a needless interpolation, there being no apparent reason for any change in the writer's previous phraseology, or for his distinguishing "Paul's company" from some other person or persons unknown. In some of the MSS. in which it is found, the verb is in the third person: "They that were of Paul's company came . . . ." Came unto Caesarea.--Comp.Acts 8:40;Acts 10:1. This was, it will be remembered, St. Paul's third visit there (Acts 9:30;Acts 18:22), and we may well believe that he was simply renewing the intercourse of a previous friendship with Philip. Philip the evangelist.--The title given to him is interesting as showing that the work of "serving tables,"i.e.,of superintending the distribution of alms, had been merged in the higher work of a missionary preacher. (See Note onActs 6:3.) He was no longer known, if, indeed, that title had ever been applied to him, as Philip the deacon, but as Philip the evangelist. The office so described is recognised by St. Paul in his enumeration of spiritual gifts and functions, inEphesians 4:11, as coming next in order of importance to those of apostles and prophets, and before pastors and teachers. It would seem, accordingly, to have been distinct from the "orders," in the later sense, of presbyter or deacon, though capable of being united with either of them. Timotheus was exhorted by St. Paul when he was left at Ephesus, with the authority of a bishop, or, more strictly, of a vicar apostolic, to "do the work of an evangelist," as that to which he had been called (2Timothy 4:5). It followed, from the nature of the office, as analogous to that of the missionary of later times, that, though residing mainly at Caesarea, Philip's labours extended beyond its limits; and we have seen reason to trace his work (see Notes onActs 8:40;Acts 15:3;Acts 21:3;Acts 21:7) all along the coasts of Palestine and Phoenicia. As far as we know, Philip and St. Luke had not met before, and we can imagine the satisfaction with which the latter, himself, probably, an evangelist in both senses of the word (2Corinthians 8:18), and already contemplating his work as an historian, would welcome the acquaintance of the former, how he would ask many questions as to the early history of the Church, and learn from him all, or nearly all, that we find in the first eleven chapters of this book. . . . Verse 8.- On the morrow for the next day A.V.; we for we that were of Paul's company, A.V. and T.R.; entering we for we entered... and, A.V.; who for which, A.V. Unto Caesarea. They seem to have come from Ptolemais to Caesarea by land, a two days' journey; the word. ἐξελθόντες, as Howson justly remarks, pointing to a land-journey. Philip the evangelist. When last we heard of him ( Acts 8:40) he had just reached Caesarea; apparently he had been working there as an evangelist ever since. His old home at Jerusalem ( Acts 6:5) had been broken up by the persecution ( Acts 8:5), and thus the deacon had become an evangelist ( Acts 8:12). Evangelists are mentioned by St. Paul( Ephesians 4:11) as one of the higher orders of the Christian ministry; and Timothy is bid "do the work of an evangelist" ( 2 Timothy 4:5). In later times the term was restricted to the four writers of the Gospels. Philip's old association with Stephen in the diaconate must have been keenly remembered by St. Paul. We abode with him. This seems to imply that Philip was well to do, and had a good house.
