92 RORM PAULINiE. 



Syria and Cilicia.^ Suppose him to have passed by land 

 trom Cesarea to Tarsus, all this, as has been observed, 

 would he precisely true. 



5. Barnabas was with St. Paul at Antioch. " Then de- 

 parted Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul : and when he 

 had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came 

 to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with 

 the church." Acts 11 : 25, 2G. Again, and upon another 

 occasion, Paul and Barnabas " sailed to Antioch ," and there 

 they continued a "long time with the disciples." Chap. 

 14 : 26. 



Now, what says the epistle? "When Peter was come 

 to Antioch, I withstood him^ to the face, because he was to 

 be blamed. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with 

 him ; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with 

 their dissimulation." Chap. 2 : 11, 13. 



6. The stated residence of the apostles was at Jerusalem. 

 " At that time there was a great persecution against the 

 church which was at Jerusalem ; and they were all scat 

 tered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, 

 except the apostles." Acts 8 : 1. "They," the Christians 

 at Antioch, " determined that Paul and Barnabas, and cer- 

 tain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto thf 

 apostles and elders about this question." Acts 15:2. With 

 these accounts agrees the declaration in the epistle: "JSTei- 

 ther went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles 

 before me," chap. 1:17; for this declaration implies, or 

 rather assumes it to be known, that Jerusalem was the 

 pi ice where the apostles were to be met with. 



7. There were at Jerusalem two apostles, or at the least, 

 two eminent members of the church, of the name of James. 



* Dr. Doddridge thought that the Cesarea here mentioned was not 

 the celebrated city of that name upon the Mediterranean sea, but Ces- 

 area Pliilippi, near tho borders of Syria, M^hich lies in a much more 

 direct line from Jerusalem to Tarsus than the other. The objection 

 to this, Dr. Benson remarks, is, that Cesarea, without any addition, 

 usually ■d^enotes Cesarea Palestine.
