Acts 23:31

The soldiers brought him by night to Antipatris — But not the same night they set out. For Antipatris was about thirty — eight of our miles northwest of Jerusalem. Herod the Great rebuilt it, and gave it this name in honour of his father Antipater: Cesarea was near seventy miles from Jerusalem, and about thirty from Antipatris.
