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 it came to pass that after we had parted from them and had launched, we came on a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara.

2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard and set forth.

3 Now when we had sighted Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her burden.

4 And having found disciples, we tarried there seven days. They told Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 And when those days there had been accomplished, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, until we were out of the city. And we kneeled down on the shore and prayed.
