sess-uh-REE-uh
This place shows up in Mark 8:27: “Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Mark 8:27
“Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?””
