Acts 9:30
Which when the brethren knew
When the members of the church heard of it, by some means or
another:
they brought him down to Caesarea;
not that which was before called Strato's tower, the same as in (
Acts 8:40 ) but
Caesarea Philippi, mentioned in ( Matthew
16:13 ) the Syriac version adds, "by night", and some copies,
"and sent him forth to Tarsus"; a city of Cilicia, his own native
place, where he might be more safe, and also useful among his
friends and acquaintance; ( Galatians
1:21 ) .
