Acts 23:31 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Not that they came to Antipatris by night; but they began that journey by night, as Acts 23:23, and went as much of it as they could by night, for fear of being discovered, and attempted upon by the Jews. This Antipatris was built by Herod the Great, and so called in memory of his father Antipater; it was about seventeen leagues from Jerusalem, pleasantly situated upon the Mediterranean Sea, between Joppa and Caesarea.

Acts 23:31

31 Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
