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.
Note 1 at Acts 21:8: This was Paul's third visit to Caesarea (see note 2 at Acts 8:40, p. 620) recorded in scripture (1st-Acts 9:30; 2nd-Acts 18:22). Paul is later imprisoned in Caesarea for over two years (Acts 24:27).
The church at Caesarea was begun by the ministry of Peter as he saw Cornelius (see note 1 at Acts 10:1, p. 630) and his relatives get born again (Acts 10). Philip the evangelist who was one of the seven original deacons of the Jerusalem church, also lived in Caesarea and provided Paul with a place to stay.
