ACC ~ Acts 21 v1 - 6

OVERVIEW:

There is little to comment upon in this short passage. Modern commentators point to the guidance of the Spirit and Paul’s determination to go to Jerusalem. Bede finds it prefigured in Psalm 45.

21:5 | Praying on the Beach

A PROPHECY FULFILLED. BEDE: That prophecy was fulfilled that says, proclaiming about the church, “The daughters of Tyre offer you gifts; all the wealthy among the people plead for your favor,” and so forth, up to the end of the psalm. For no city received the apostle, kept him and sent him on his way with greater kindness than Tyre. Finally, today the place is pointed out where they prayed together on the shore.
