We left Peter in 8:25 when he returned to Jerusalem with John from their visit to Samaria. Now we find him, taking advantage probably of the collapse of the recent persecution, engaged in an itinerant ministry of visitation among the dispersed Christian communities of Judea. There was one such community in Lydda (the Greek name of Lod). The nucleus of this community was most likely formed of fugitives from the persecution in Jerusalem. Little did Peter know that this ministry trip would result in a radical Kingdom breakthrough.
