使徒行傳 21:6-7 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Acts 21:1-7

We may observe here, I. How much ado Paul had to get clear from Ephesus, intimated in the first words of the chapter, after we had gotten from them, that is, were drawn from them as by violence. It was a force put upon both sides; Paul was loth to leave them, and they were loth to part with him, and yet there was no remedy, but so it must be. When good people are taken away by death, they are, as it were, gotten from their friends here below, who struggled hard to have detained them if... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Acts 21:1-16

21:1-16 When we had torn ourselves away from them and had set sail, we sailed a straight course and came to Cos; on the next day we reached Rhodes; and from there we came to Patara. There we found a ship which was sailing across to Phoenicia and we embarked on her and set sail. After we had sighted Cyprus and had left it behind on the left hand side we sailed on to Syria and came down to Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo. We sought out the disciples and we stayed there for... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible 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 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Acts 21:7

And when we had finished our course from Tyre ,.... Or sailed from thence, we came to Ptolemais : the Syriac version calls it "Aco" or "Acu": and the Arabic version, "Aco"; and Ptolemais, according to Pliny F24 Ad nationes, l. 5. c. 19. and Harpocratian F25 Lexic. Decem Orator. p. 12. , was called Ace. Frequent mention is made of Aco in the Jewish writings, and which according to them was a sea port, for they speak of נמלה דעכו , "the port of Aco" F26 T. Bab. Yoma,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:6

Taken - leave - Ασπασαμενοι ; Having given each other the kiss of peace, as was the constant custom of the Jews and primitive Christians. They returned home - That is, the men, their wives, and their children. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:7

We came to Ptolemais - This was a seaport town of Galilee, not far from Mount Carmel, between Tyre and Caesarea, where the river Belus empties itself into the sea. It was at first called Accho, (and this is the reading of the Syriac and Arabic), and belonged to the tribe of Asher, Judges 1:31 ; it was enlarged and beautified by the first of the Egyptian Ptolemies, from whom it was called Ptolemais. This place terminated St. Paul's voyage; and this is what is expressed in the text: And we... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 21:7

Verse 7− 7.Luke doth briefly declare that Paul was also received at Ptolemais by the brethren. This is a city of Phenicia, standing upon the sea-coast, not far from the borders of Judea, from which Paul and his companions had no long journey to Cesarea. But if the readers be disposed to know farther touching the situation of regions, let them resort unto the describers of places and countries [geographers]. Furthermore, he saith, that when he came to Cesarea, they lodged with Philip, whom he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:1-6

Miletus to Tyre: the steadfastness of a holy mind. I. THE TRIAL OF PAUL 'S FAITH . In the separation from dear brethren and the prospects of suffering. The long days of quiet thought, sailing through the Greek Archipelago to Cos, Rhodes, Patara, and round the south-west of Cyprus to Tyre, deepened the resolution of his heart and prepared him to encounter the temptations from weaker brethren. At Tyro the great crisis of his faith came much nearer. Disciples said, "Set no foot in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:1-14

The steadfast purpose. One of the most difficult problems of practical life is to know what are the fixed points on which we must not give way, and to which all other considerations must yield, and what are the points which may be yielded under the pressure of conflicting circumstances. A man may be very conscientious, and yet most grievously mistaken, if by his obstinacy on indifferent matters he imperils or defeats great and important results which are incompatible with those smaller... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:1-16

Incidents by the way. I. THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN LOVE TO BRING THE UNKNOWN NEAR . At Tyre Christian disciples, loving Christian hearts, are found. They warn Paul against possible coming dangers, they entertain the little band, and dismiss them with commendatory prayer. " The finding of disciples must have been a main feature in the diaries of the apostle." To meet with welcome, with hospitality, with congenial discourse upon journeys,—how refreshing! Well may it... read more
