  2. Explication du texte

Did everyone in Lydda and the region of Sharon truly become believers?

Actes 9:35 (NEG79)

35 Tous les habitants de Lydde et du Saron le virent, et ils se convertirent au Seigneur.

Luke, the author of Acts, makes use of hyperbolic language. He does not mean that every single person living in the area became a believer but that a large number of people were converted.1 Lydda would continue to have a very strong Christian presence for many years thereafter.2
