The time spent there was significant for fellowship and spiritual encouragement. The phrase reflects the itinerant nature of Paul's missionary journeys, emphasizing the temporary nature of his visits and the urgency of his mission. This aligns with the broader narrative of Acts, where the spread of the Gospel often required moving from place to place.we set out on our journey This part of the verse highlights the continuation of Paul's missionary journey. The phrase underscores the commitment to the Great Commission (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>), as Paul and his companions were dedicated to spreading the Gospel despite the challenges they faced. The journey motif is prevalent in Acts, symbolizing the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth (<a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a>).All the disciples, with their wives and children The inclusion of entire families in this farewell scene illustrates the communal nature of early Christian life. It reflects the strong bonds formed within the Christian community, transcending individual relationships to include entire households. This communal aspect is seen throughout Acts, where believers often gathered in homes (<a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a>) and shared their lives together.accompanied us out of the city This phrase shows the deep affection and solidarity between Paul and the believers in Tyre. The act of accompanying someone out of the city was a sign of respect and honor in ancient cultures. It also indicates the strong emotional ties and the support network that existed among early Christians, who often faced persecution and hardship.and knelt down on the beach to pray with us Kneeling is a posture of humility and reverence in prayer, reflecting the seriousness and sincerity of the moment. Praying on the beach signifies the openness and public nature of their faith, unashamed to express their devotion to God. This act of communal prayer is a recurring theme in Acts, where prayer is central to the life and mission of the early church (<a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a>, <a href="/acts/4-31.htm">Acts 4:31</a>).

It was the spot where the two sets of friends were to part. It was removed from the stir and bustle of the city. We may add that it fell in with the common Jewish practice of using the banks of rivers or the seashore as a place of prayer. The beach of Tyre became for the time a proseuche. (See Note on <a href="/acts/16-13.htm" title="And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women which resorted thither.">Acts 16:13</a>.) It seems implied, from the use of the plural, that in this instance St. Paul was not the only spokesman of the prayers, but that others also (probably St. Luke himself, and the leading members of the Church of Tyre) joined in reciprocal intercession.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/21.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 5. - It came to pass that we had accomplished for we had accomplished, A.V.; the days for those days, A.V.; on our journey for our way, A.V.; they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way for they all brought us on our way, with wires and children, A.V.; kneeling down on the beach we prayed for we kneeled down on the shore and prayed., A.V. and T.R. Accomplished the days. There is no other example of this use of the word ἐξαρτίζειν, which always means "to fit out, to equip thoroughly," as e.g. Josephus, 'Ant. Jud.,' 3. 2:2, where he speaks of soldiers τοῖς ἅπασι καλῶς ἐξηρτισμένους well equipped in all respects; and in the only other passage in the New Testament where it occurs, <a href="/2_timothy/3-17.htm">2 Timothy 3:17</a>, where it is rendered "thoroughly furnished," or "furnished completely." R.V. Hence some would render the passage here "when we had refitted (the ship) during these days." But this is a very harsh construction, and it is better, with the glossaries, lexicons, the Vulgate, and most commentators, to take the word here in the unusual sense of "to complete," applied to time. The days are the seven days mentioned in ver. 4, which were probably determined by the time it took to unlade the ship and get the new cargo on board. <a href="/commentaries/acts/21-5.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. when ὅτε (hote) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_3753.htm">Strong's 3753: </a> When, at which time.
