Acts 9:35 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

And all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron, х ton (G3588) Saroonan (G4565); or, according to the best manuscripts, Saroona (G4565)] - the Sharon of the Old Testament х Shaarown (H8289)]; not any town or village, but (as the article shows) the rich flat coast district which stretches southward from Caesarea to Joppa.

Saw him, and turned to the Lord - that is (according to the accustomed phraseology of this book) the Lord Jesus. As to the bearing of this statement on Aeneas' own discipleship, see the note at Acts 9:33. The "all" here need not be taken with strict literality. All that is meant seems to be, that this event resulted in a general conversion throughout the district.
