Acts 23:31-32

AT ANTIPATRIS. Acts 23:31-32.

Acts 23:31

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

Acts 23:32

But on the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:

Acts 23:31-32 A long march down the hills to the sea plain brought them, next day, to Antipatris, a town built by Herod the Great and named after his father, Antipater, now know as Ras-el-Ain, on the Roman road to Caesarea, about forty miles from Jerusalem and about twenty from the seat of the Procurator, A large mound covered with heaps of stone, old foundations, broken columns, and chiselled blocks, half buried among thorns, is now all that remains of the town, but a copious spring bursting from the mounda chief source of the permanent stream Aujehshows that one great element of health and local beauty had been among the attractions that fixed its site. (Geikie, pp. 390-391).

Paul now only needed seventy horsemen to guard him. The 400 infantry men after some rest returned to Jerusalem.
