6 And having bid them "Shalom," we embarked in the oniyah, and they returned to their own batim.

Gevurot 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:6

And when we had taken our leave one of another
The Alexandrian copy reads, "having prayed, we saluted one another"; with a kiss, as in ( Acts 20:37 ) and so parted:

we took ship;
or went aboard the ship,

and they returned home again;
to their own houses, as the Syriac version renders it; for by "their own", as it is in the Greek text, cannot be meant their families, their wives, and children, for these were along with them, but their habitations; see ( John 16:32 ) ( 19:27 ) .

Gevurot 21:6 In-Context

4 And after having searched for Moshiach’s talmidim there, we stayed in Tzor shivah yamim. And Moshiach’s talmidim were telling Rav Sha’ul by the Ruach Hakodesh not to make any aliyah (ascent) to Yerushalayim.
5 But when our yamim there were ended, we departed and everyone, including nashim and yeladim, were accompanying us as far as the outskirts of the city; and falling down on the beach, we all were davening.
6 And having bid them "Shalom," we embarked in the oniyah, and they returned to their own batim.
7 And when we had completed the voyage from Tzor, we arrived in Ptolemais, and, having given a "Shalom" greeting to the Achim b’Moshiach there, we stayed yom echad with them.
8 And on the next day, having left, we came to Caesarea; and entered the bais of Philippos, the maggid of the Besuras HaGeulah who was one of HaShivah [see 6:3]. And we stayed with him.
