Acts 8:40

And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

There was a certain man in Cesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,

And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Cesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;

Who, when they came to Cesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.

But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.

And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Eben–ezer unto Ashdod.

And the morrow after they entered into Cesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.

And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Cesarea, and there abode.

There went with us also certain of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Cesarea to Jerusalem.

And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Cesarea to salute Festus.

And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Cesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.

And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages: Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:

After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.

And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
