Acts 21:7-14

To Cæ sarea. From Tyre to Ptolemais (p. 28) is 20 miles. The stay there is brief; the journey from Ptolemais to Cæ sarea, about 30 miles, was probably by land. Philip arrived at Cæ sarea after his meeting with the eunuch (Acts 8:40); he still lived there and he received the party. None of the prophecies of his daughters on this occasion are given; the visit lasted some days, and if Philip was one of the Twelve as well as one of the Seven of Acts 6, much would be said that we should like to know. The third Gospel, according to some scholars, was largely indebted to this meeting. Agabus (Acts 11:28) is here introduced to us afresh, and symbolises with Paul's girdle the bonds and imprisonment which in Acts 20:23 Paul said were everywhere foretold to him. Yet his resolution is not shaken.
