Editorial summary

In the first half of Acts, Peter spoke for the apostles at Pentecost, healed and preached in Jerusalem and faced the council. He went with John to Samaria, traveled to Lydda and Joppa, and was called to the house of the centurion Cornelius at Caesarea. Back in Jerusalem he explained what had happened, was freed from Herod’s prison and spoke at the council.

Listed in the order of Acts and grouped by region. Acts narrates only parts of Peter’s movements (Lydda to Joppa to Caesarea, then up to Jerusalem), so the places are shown as a collection rather than a single route.
