Acts 21:15 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:15

And after those days we took up our carriages
Or prepared themselves, both for their journey, and for whatever trials and exercises they were to meet with; they took up their bundles, which hitherto were brought by sea, and now put them upon beasts, going by land from Caesarea:

and went up to Jerusalem;
which stood on higher ground, and was, as Josephus ^F14 says, six hundred furlongs, or seventy five miles distant.

Acts 21:15 In-Context

13 Then Paul replied, "What are you doing weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus!"

14 And [because] he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

15 So after these days we got ready [and] went up to Jerusalem.

16 And [some] of the disciples from Caesarea also traveled together with us, bringing [us] to a certain Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing, with whom we were to be entertained as guests.

17 And [when] we came to Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly.
