From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 30. Caesarea. See Barnes "Ac 8:40". And sent him forth to Tarsus. This was his native city. See Barnes "Ac 9:11". It was in Cilicia, where Paul doubtless preached the gospel. Ga 1:21: "Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia." __________________________________________________________________
