Acts 8:5
Philip. This was not Philip, the apostle, for all the apostles
remained at Jerusalem, but Philip, one of the seven (Acts 6:5).
The city of Samaria. The Greek does not render it certain that this
was the capital named Samaria, as there is no definite article. It is
literally "a city of Samaria". The district (see map) lies between
Judea and Galilee. Samaria and Sychar were, at this time, two of its
principal cities. It was probably one or the other of these to which
Philip went.
