Commentary
Commentary on Acts 21:5
Theological / DevotionalAccomplished those days. The “seven days” of v. 4. The Greek verb here rendered “accomplished,” and translated “furnished” in 2 Tim. 3:17 (RSV, “equipped”), has the primary sense of making ready, equipping, or fitting out, as of a ship. Hence some conclude that the ship required a week of refitting at Tyre. However, in a time expression, as here, it is better translated, “to complete,” “to finish.”
Departed and went our way. Literally, “having departed, we were going on our way.”
They all brought us. The whole church of Tyre, including wives and children, escorted Paul and his companions out of the city to the shore (see on chs. 15:3; 20:38).
Kneeled ..., and prayed. See on ch. 20:36.
