Acts 8:5
_ _ Acts 8:5-25. Success of Philip’s preaching in Samaria — Case of Simon Magus.
_ _ Then Philip — not the apostle of that name, as was by some of the Fathers supposed; for besides that the apostles remained at Jerusalem, they would in that case have had no occasion to send a deputation of their own number to lay their hands on the baptized disciples [Grotius]. It was the deacon of that name, who comes next after Stephen in the catalogue of the seven, probably as being the next most prominent. The persecution may have been directed especially against Stephen’s colleagues [Meyer].
_ _ the city of Samaria — or “a city of Samaria”; but the former seems more likely. “It furnished the bridge between Jerusalem and the world” [Baumgarten]. |

- the city:
- Rather, "to a city of Samaria," εις [Strong's G1519], πολις της Σαμαρειας, for the city of Samaria had been utterly destroyed by Hyrcanus, and the city built by Herod on its site was called Σεβαστη, that is, Augusta, in honour of Augustus. Samaria comprised the tract of country formerly occupied by the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, west of Jordan, lying between Judea and Galilee, beginning, says Josephus, at Ginea in the great plain, and ending at the toparchy of Acrabateni.
