A coastal city where Peter had his vision about clean and unclean animals
JudeaHistorically Verified
Ancient Jaffa has been dug up since the 1950s. Egyptian records from the pharaoh Thutmose III and ancient diplomatic letters mention this port city.
An ancient port city (modern Jaffa/Tel Aviv). In the Old Testament, Jonah sailed from Joppa trying to flee God. In Acts, Peter stayed there with Simon the tanner and had his rooftop vision of a sheet filled with unclean animals — God's way of telling him the gospel was for Gentiles too (Acts 10:9-16). This vision directly led to Peter visiting Cornelius.
