Καισαρία G2542
Caesarea; a Roman city name referring to Caesarea Maritima (coastal) or Caesarea Philippi (inland).
Kaisareia is the proper noun for Caesarea, referring to two distinct cities in Roman Palestine. Caesarea Maritima, built by Herod the Great on the Mediterranean coast, served as the Roman provincial capital and features prominently in Acts as a hub of early Christian activity — Philip settles there (Acts 8:40; 21:8), Cornelius receives Peter (Acts 10:1), and Paul is tried before Felix and Festus (Acts 23:23-25:13). Caesarea Philippi, at the foot of Mount Hermon, is where Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ (Matt 16:13; Mark 8:27). German 'Cäsarea,' Spanish 'Cesarea,' and French 'Césarée' all transliterate the same Latinate toponym.
Senses
1. Caesarea (place name) — The place name Caesarea, designating either Caesarea Maritima on the Mediterranean coast or Caesarea Philippi near Mount Hermon. The coastal city dominates Acts as the Roman administrative center where Cornelius is converted (Acts 10:1, 24; 11:11), Paul is imprisoned and tried (Acts 23:23, 33; 25:1, 4, 6, 13), and Philip the evangelist resides (Acts 8:40; 21:8, 16). Caesarea Philippi appears only in Matt 16:13 and Mark 8:27 as the site of Peter's confession. Every translation simply transliterates the Latin-derived name. 17×
