Caesarea Philippi (sĕsərē`ə fĭlĭp`ī), city, N ancient Palestine, at the foot of Mt. Hermon. It was built by Philip the Tetrarch in the 1st cent. A.D. Its site (Paneas) had long been a center for the worship of Pan. Jesus was in the vicinity (Mat. 16.13), but there is no proof that he entered the city. The modern name is Baniyas.

First comes Peter's Christ confession at Caesarea Philippi (coupled with his "dumb" rebuking of Jesus for making the first passion prediction). First, a branch of the Via Maris from Caesarea Philippi south came down the east side of the Jordan Rift to Bethsaida (not mentioned by Bosen 1985: 39). My favorite scripture passage took on new meaning when, a couple of years ago, I was walking along the cliffs and caves of northern Israel in the area of Caesarea Philippi. |
