Contextual Overview

23 A good while after, the Jews conspir'd to kill him: 24 but Saul was appriz'd of their plot. and as they were night and day upon the watch at the gates, in order to kill him, 25 the disciples took him by night, and let him down the wall in a basket. 26 when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he try'd to associate himself with the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and could not be persuaded that he was a disciple. 27 thereupon Barnabas took him with him to the apostles, and related to them how the Lord had appear'd to him on his journey, and had spoken to him, and how publickly Saul had preach'd at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 then he convers'd freely with the apostles at Jerusalem: 29 and he openly preach'd in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Hellenists, who therefore plotted against his life: 30 which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus. 31 Then the churches in all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, were unmolested and establish'd, and by their religious conduct, and the assistance of the holy spirit, grew more extensive.

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.
