And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. (8) And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. (9) And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
This Casaria in Palestine, was rendered memorable by the Lord's grace to the Gentiles, in the call of Cornelius. See Acts 10:1 and Commentary. And, it should seem, that Philip, one of the first deacons, Acts 6:5. whose ministry is blessedly recorded (Acts 8:1) now resided here. The prophesying of his daughters was in perfect agreement to Scripture promise, Joel 2:28.
