Acts 21:7 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

‘And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.'

The voyage from Tyre brings them to Ptolemais (now Acre) where they probably landed for the last time. From now on it will be on foot. Here again they greeted the brethren and remained with them for a day, before proceeding.

Some, however, consider that the one day stop was in order to unload some cargo and that they then sailed to Caesarea.

Acts 21:7

7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
