A port city on the Mediterranean coast, about 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Jerusalem.
There Peter announced the good news to Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:1-48). Paul was kept prisoner there before being sent to Rome (Acts 23:23; 25:1).
23So inviting them in, he gave them lodging. And on the next day he got up and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.

2. What it means
Peter says God shows no partiality (vv. 34-35). How did what Peter experienced change what he understood?
3. How I live it
