Gill's Notes on the Bible
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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
To Cesarea - See the notes on Acts 8:40.
And sent him forth to Tarsus - This was his native city. See the notes on Acts 9:11. It was in Cilicia, where Paul doubtless preached the gospel, Galatians 1:21, “Afterward I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 30. They brought him down to Caesarea — Calmet contends that this was Caesarea of Palestine, and not Caesarea Philippi; it being his opinion, and indeed that of others, that where this word occurs without any addition, in the New Testament, Caesarea of Palestine is meant, and not Caesarea Philippi. Acts 8:40; Acts 8:40.
Sent him forth to Tarsus. — This was his own city; and it was right that he should proclaim to his own countrymen and relatives that Gospel through which he was become wise to salvation.
