# the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria

# had peace

"lived peacefully." This means the persecution that started with the murder of Stephen was finished.
|
|
|

# was built up
|
|
|
|
The agent was either God or the Holy Spirit. This can be stated in active form. AT: "God helped them grow" or "the Holy Spirit built them up" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

# walking in the fear of the Lord

|

"continuing to honor the Lord"
|
|
|
|
# in the comfort of the Holy Spirit

# Now it came about

# throughout the whole region

# he came down
|
|
|
|
The phrase "came down" is used here because Lydda is lower in elevation than the other places where he was traveling.
|
|
|
|
# Lydda

Lydda is a city located about 18 kilometers southeast of Joppa. This city was called Lod in the Old Testament and in modern Israel.
