Philip, one of the seven deacons appointed in Acts chapter 6, seems to have quickly outgrown his purely administrative role. He has had to leave Jerusalem in a hurry following the death of Stephen, but he is by no means in hiding. This chapter of Acts concerns the remarkable doings of Philip, the deacon-turned-evangelist; and from another point of view it continues the theme of the opening up of the gospel to the non-Jewish world. Jesus was the one through whom the slow and winding story of God’s people had reached its destination, and with it the moment of redemption for the whole world.
