While Simon Peter was staying with a friend in Jaffa, messengers arrived from Caesarea with a request that he come at once. This video shows the beautiful location of old Jaffa (modern Tel Aviv is just to the north) and the route along the coastal plain to Caesarea Maritima. It's a bit more than 32 miles between both coastal towns. Because the round-trip journey was accomplished in a relatively short period of time (a single day of travel, each way), it's likely Cornelius sent his messengers to Simon on horseback. People making long journeys were accustomed to walking about 20 miles a day. This is a good place to remind listeners that the details given in this biblical story (covering 32 or more miles in a single day) match up perfectly with the details the land can provide. The coastal plain was flat and had the best roads in Israel. Fast travel with horses was probably common on this road.
