Commentaries on Acts 21:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8We that were of Paul's company - ̔ · This clause is wanting in ABCE, and many others; the Syriac, Coptic, Vulgate, Armenian, etc. Came unto Caesarea - This was Caesarea of Palestine, already sufficiently described, See on Acts 8:40; (note). Philip the evangelist - One of the seven deacons, who seems to have settled here after he had baptized the eunuch. See on Acts 8:40; (note).Read the comment
