This place shows up in Acts 12:19: “When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Acts 12:19
“When Herod had sought for him, and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.”
