Kaisareia names a place mentioned as a setting, destination, point of departure, and qualified regional location in Scripture.

The term functions as a geographical name: people are located there, travel to or from it, arrive there, or speak of its surrounding villages or region. Its genitive form can mark origin or association, while the accusative commonly occurs in movement clauses; in Matthew 16:13 and Mark 8:27 it is qualified by “of Philip” in the APB’s presentation of the region or villages.

   The forms identify a place in narrative settings and movements: in Acts 10:1 the dative singular form situates Cornelius, while in Acts 10:24 and Acts 23:33 the accusative singular form occurs where travelers enter or arrive. The genitive singular form marks a point of origin in Acts 11:11, and Matthew 16:13 and Mark 8:27 present the name with the qualifier “of Philip” as Jesus and his disciples come into that region or travel toward its villages.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the name as “Caesarea” in travel, residence, origin, and arrival clauses. In Matthew 16:13 and Mark 8:27 it expands the surrounding phrase as “Caesarea of Philip”; these renderings reflect whole-verse translation rather than word-by-word alignment.
