Acts 21:2 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:2

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phoenicia
For it seems that the ship they went aboard at Assos, ( Acts 20:13 ) went no further, at least in the way the apostle was going, than Patara; but lighting on another ship, which was bound for Phoenicia, for the city of Tyre, which bordered on the land of Israel, and indeed originally belonged to Canaan; see ( Acts 11:19 ) .

we went aboard;
the said ship:

and set forth;
on the voyage.

Acts 21:2 In-Context

1 After we tore ourselves away from them, we set sail on a straight course to Cos, reaching Rhodes the next day, and then Patara.

2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, boarded, and put out to sea.

3 We spotted Cyprus, but passed by it on our left. We sailed on to the province of Syria and landed in Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.

4 We found the disciples there and stayed with them for a week. Compelled by the Spirit, they kept telling Paul not to go to Jerusalem.

5 When our time had come to an end, we departed. All of them, including women and children, accompanied us out of town where we knelt on the beach and prayed.
