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 And so, with the tearful good-byes behind us, we were on our way. We made a straight run to Cos, the next day reached Rhodes, and then Patara.

2 There we found a ship going direct to Phoenicia, got on board, and set sail.

3 Cyprus came into view on our left, but was soon out of sight as we kept on course for Syria, and eventually docked in the port of Tyre. While the cargo was being unloaded,

4 we looked up the local disciples and stayed with them seven days. Their message to Paul, from insight given by the Spirit, was "Don't go to Jerusalem."

5 When our time was up, they escorted us out of the city to the docks. Everyone came along - men, women, children. They made a farewell party of the occasion! We all kneeled together on the beach and prayed.
