Contextual Overview

1 AND it came to pass, after we separated from them, we sailed a straight course to the Island of Co''os, and the following day we arrived at Rhodes, and from thence to Pat''a-ra: 2 And we found there a ship sailing to Pheni''cia, and we went on board, and set forth. 3 Then we reached the Island of Cyprus, and passed it on the left hand, and sailed to for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 4 And because we found disciples there, we stayed with them seven days: and every day they said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 5 After these days, we departed on our journey, and they all escorted us on our way with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: then they knelt down by the seaside and prayed; 6 And when we had kissed one another good-bye, we took ship; and they returned to their homes. 7 We sailed from Tyre and arrived at the city of Ak-ka (Ptol-e-ma''is), and we saluted the brethren who were there, and tarried with them a day.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And finding a ship sailing over unto Phoenicia,.... For it seems that the ship they went aboard at Assos, Acts 20:13 went no further, at least in the way the apostle was going, than Patara; but lighting on another ship, which was bound for Phoenicia, for the city of Tyre, which bordered on the land of Israel, and indeed originally belonged to Canaan; see Acts 11:19.

we went aboard; the said ship:

and set forth; on the voyage.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Unto Phenicia - See the notes on Acts 11:19. Phoenicia was on their way to Jerusalem.

Set forth - Sailed.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 21:2. Phoenicia — A part of Syria. Acts 11:19; Acts 11:19.
