40. The historian brings the present section of his narrative to a close by a brief notice of the subsequent labors of Philip. (40) " But Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing along, he preached the gospel in all the cities till he came to Cæsarea. " The town of Azotus, the Ashdod of the Old Testament, was westward of the route the eunuch was pursuing, on the shore of the Mediterranean. Philip's further tour extended northward, along the sea-shore, to Cæsarea. We are not yet prepared to bid him a final adieu; but will meet him again, after the shifting scenes of many years, to say farewell amid many tears. [112]
