Philip, however, found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through the area, he proclaimed the good news to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

About him all the prophets testify, that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name."

Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.
