This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Act 9:35. [Πάντες, all) Lydda, according to Josephus, was a town as large in compass as a city. Therefore this was a numerous conversion.-V. g.]-τὸν Σάρωνα, Saron) Saron was the name of the tract, in which was the town of Lydda. Hence the article is added.-ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον, to the Lord) Jesus Christ. Those are said to be converted to the Lord who have already before embraced the Old Testament: ch. Act 11:21 (which presumes the reading, Act 9:20, Ἑλληνιστὰς); 2Co 3:16. The Gentiles are said to be converted to God, Act 15:19; Act 20:21.
