Acts 21:6

6 et cum valefecissemus invicem ascendimus in navem illi autem redierunt in sua

Acts 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 ) .

5 et explicitis diebus profecti ibamus deducentibus nos omnibus cum uxoribus et filiis usque foras civitatem et positis genibus in litore oravimus

6 et cum valefecissemus invicem ascendimus in navem illi autem redierunt in sua

7 nos vero navigatione explicita a Tyro descendimus Ptolomaida et salutatis fratribus mansimus die una apud illos

8 alia autem die profecti venimus Caesaream et intrantes in domum Philippi evangelistae qui erat de septem mansimus apud eum
