Philip is not brought back by the Spirit to Samaria to become, for example, ’shepherd of the flock‘. He goes where the Spirit leads him and is therefore found in Azotus, a city of the Philistines. There he proclaims the gospel, as well as to the other cities in the whole strip of Gaza, ‘the seacoast’ (Zep 2:4-5). From there he passes through the country, until he finally comes to Caesarea, where he apparently has settled (Acts 21:8).
