Theological / Devotional

On the morrow. Antipatris lay some 39 mi. from Jerusalem. Leaving early in the evening (see on v. 23) and traveling with foot soldiers, Paul’s company would reach Antipatris sometime the following day.

They left. Considering that Paul was now out of danger, the foot soldiers returned to Jerusalem.

The castle. That is, the Tower of Antonia in Jerusalem (see ch. 21:34), where the garrison was quartered. The Jerusalem garrison must have been of considerable size to spare so large a detachment of soldiers in such troublesome times as these (see Vol. V, pp. 70, 71).
