There are two places of this name spoken of in Scripture. Caesarea Philippi, supposed to have been built by Philip, no great distance from Zidon. This place is rendered memorable in the gospel, from Jesus passing near the coasts of it when Peter gave so blessed a testimony to the GODHEAD of his master. See Matthew 16:13, etc The other Caesarea was in Palestine. Here lived Cornelius the Centurion. (Acts 10:1-48)
