The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:5

Widening streams of Christian love. The contents of this verse are almost unique for the day to which they belong. And at the same time they seem to link together some of the best of their own time with some of the best of modern time. The scene is familiar to us, which was once strange enough, and Tyre will be held in remembrance, wheresoever the gospel shall be preached, for one bright, redeeming trait. For we have here a significant token of what Christianity will avail to do, without... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:5

The influence of personal affection on Christian ministers. The scene described here may be compared with that at Miletus ( Acts 20:26 , Acts 20:27 ). The impression that it was the last time they would see the great apostle among them intensified the expression of feeling, but it could hardly be said to increase the affection which the disciples cherished towards St. Paul. That strong personal attachment the apostle won wherever he went. Some men are remarkable for the power of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:6

And bade each other farewell; and we went on board the ship, but, etc., for and when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and, etc., A.V. and T.R. The ἀπασπάζεσθαι of the R.T. occurs nowhere else, except in Himerius in the fourth century after Christ. Went on board ; ἐπέβημες εἰς , the same phrase as ἐπιβαίνειν εἰς ἱερουσαλήμ in Acts 21:5 . read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:7

The voyage for our course, A.V.; arrived at for came to, A.V.; we saluted for saluted, A.V. When we had finished ; διανύσαντες , only found here in the New Testament, but not uncommon in classical Greek for finishing a voyage, or a journey, or a race-course (Euripides, Hesiod, Xenophon, etc.). St. Luke seems to indicate by the phrase that the sea-voyage ended here. Arrived at ; κατηντήσαμεν , a favorite word of St. Luke's for arriving at a place ( Acts 16:1 ; Acts... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Acts 21:7-14

Tyro to Caesarea: the will of God it, the heart of his servant. As the days went on, the pressure upon the heart of Paul increased. The house of Philip the evangelist the scene of the last great test of his preparation for the future. The four virgin daughters, and Agabus from Jerusalem, repeated the prophetic warnings; but no one said by the voice of the Spirit, "Go not." Human voices must sometimes be resisted. Weeping may break a heart, but it ought not to break a resolution formed in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 21:4

And finding disciples - Christians. This is the first mention of there being Christians at Tyre, but there is no improbability in supposing that the gospel had been preached there, though it is not expressly recorded by Luke.Who said to Paul - Compare Acts 21:12. Their deep interest in his welfare, and their apprehension of his danger, was the reason why they admonished him not to go.Through the Spirit - There is some difficulty in understanding this. In solving this difficulty, we may... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 21:5

Had accomplished those days - When those days were passed.They all brought us on our way - They attended us. See the Acts 15:3 note; Romans 15:24 note; 1 Corinthians 16:6, 1 Corinthians 16:11 notes; 3 John 1:6 note. This was an expression of tender attachment, and of a deep interest in the welfare of Paul and his fellow-travelers.We kneeled down - See the notes on Acts 20:36.On the shore - Any place may be proper for prayer. See the notes on John 4:21-24. God is everywhere, and can as easily... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 21:7

We came to Ptolemais - This was a city situated on the coast of the Mediterranean, on the north angle of a bay which extends, in a semicircle of three leagues, as far as the point of Mount Carmel. At the south and west sides the city was washed by the sea, and was surrounded by triple walls. It was in the tribe of Asher Judges 1:31, and was originally called Accho; but was called Ptolemais in honor of one of the Ptolemies, who beautified and adorned it. The Christian crusaders gave it the name... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 21:4-6

Acts 21:4-6. Finding disciples, we tarried there seven days In order to spend a sabbath with them. Who said to Paul, through the inspiration of the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem The meaning seems to be, that these disciples foreseeing, through the spirit of prophecy, the troubles which Paul would meet with in Jerusalem, if he went thither, themselves advised him not to go. It is necessary to understand the words thus, to account for Paul’s conduct; for had the Spirit... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 21:7-9

Acts 21:7-9. And when we had finished our course By sea; we came to Ptolemais A celebrated city to the south of Tyre, on the same coast of the Mediterranean sea, anciently called Accho. It was enlarged and beautified by the first of the Egyptian Ptolemies, from whence it took its new appellation. It was the scene of many celebrated actions in that series of mad expeditions which was called the holy war. The Turks, who are now masters of all that region, call it Acca, or Acra; and... read more
