It was a significant port city during the Roman Empire, known for its shipbuilding and maritime trade. The mention of an Adramyttian ship indicates the vessel's origin, suggesting it was likely involved in regional trade routes. This detail highlights the interconnectedness of the Roman world and the spread of early Christianity through these trade networks.about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia The "coast of Asia" refers to the Roman province of Asia, which is part of modern-day western Turkey. This area was a hub of early Christian activity, with cities like Ephesus playing a crucial role in the spread of the Gospel. The mention of sailing for ports along this coast suggests a journey through a region rich in both Hellenistic and Roman culture, where Paul had previously established churches and preached the Gospel.and we put out to sea This phrase marks the beginning of a significant journey for Paul, who is under Roman custody. The act of setting sail symbolizes the start of a perilous voyage that will ultimately lead to Paul's arrival in Rome, fulfilling his mission to preach the Gospel there. The sea journey also serves as a backdrop for demonstrating God's providence and protection over Paul and his companions.Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us Aristarchus is mentioned as a companion of Paul, indicating his loyalty and dedication to the mission. He is described as a Macedonian from Thessalonica, a city where Paul had previously preached and established a church (<a href="/acts/17.htm">Acts 17:1-9</a>). Aristarchus's presence underscores the unity and fellowship among early Christians, transcending regional and cultural boundaries. His companionship with Paul during this journey reflects the communal nature of the early Church and the shared commitment to spreading the Gospel. Aristarchus is also mentioned in other New Testament writings (<a href="/colossians/4-10.htm">Colossians 4:10</a>, <a href="/philemon/1-24.htm">Philemon 1:24</a>), highlighting his ongoing role in Paul's ministry.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/a/adramyttian_ship.htm">Adramyttian Ship</a> A vessel originating from Adramyttium, a city located in the region of Mysia in Asia Minor.

Adramyttium was a town on the coast of Mysia, opposite Lesbos. It lay on the Roman road from Assos and Troas to Pergamus, Ephesus, and Miletus. It was a port of considerable importance, and the Gulf of Adramyti still retains its name. There would seem to have been but little direct intercourse by sea between Caesarea and Rome, and the voyage had therefore to be made, now in one ship, now in another. Changes of this kind occurred, it will be remembered, in St. Paul's journey from Philippi to Caesarea. Possibly it was at first intended that the prisoners should go to Adramyttium, cross to Greece, and then proceed by land. "Asia" is, of course, the proconsular province so called. Looking to the fact that the "fast," i.e., the Day of Atonement (falling this year on Sept. 24th), was over when St. Paul reached Crete (<a href="/acts/27-9.htm" title="Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,">Acts 27:9</a>), the date of embarkation may be fixed, with much probability, in the middle, or towards the end, of the previous August.One Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica.--It is reasonable to infer that Aristarchus, who had come with St. Paul to Jerusalem (<a href="/acts/20-4.htm" title="And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.">Acts 20:4</a>), had remained in Palestine during the two years of the Apostle's imprisonment, and was now intending to return to his native city. The subsequent alteration of plan (<a href="/acts/27-6.htm" title="And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.">Acts 27:6</a>), however, led to his accompanying him to Rome, and we find him there with St. Paul in <a href="/colossians/4-10.htm" title=" Aristarchus my fellow prisoner salutes you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom you received commandments: if he come to you, receive him;)">Colossians 4:10</a>, sharing his imprisonment.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/acts/27.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 2. - Embarking in for entering into, A.V.; which was about to sail unto the places on the coasts of Asia, we put to sea for we launched, meaning to sail by the coast of Asia, A.V. and T.R.; Aristarchus for one Aristarchus, A.V. Adramyttium (now Adra-myti, where ships are still built), on the north-western coast of Asia Minor, south of Troas, on the gulf opposite which lies the island of Lesbos, was a place of considerable trade, situated on the great Roman road which connected the Hellespont with Ephesus and Miletus. Which was about to sail; μέλλοντι (not μέλλοντες, as in the T.R.), describing the ship as a coasting-vessel, trading between Adramyttium and other ports on the coast of Asia. She was now on her homeward voyage. Aristarchus. He is first mentioned in <a href="/acts/19-29.htm">Acts 19:29</a>, as a Macedonian, and one of Paul's companions at Ephesus, pro-badly, therefore, the fruit of his first visit to Thessalonica. We find him again with St, Paul on his last journey from Corinth to Asia (<a href="/acts/20-4.htm">Acts 20:4</a>), and we gather from the present notice of him that he kept with him till he arrived at Jerusalem, and followed him to Caesarea. It would appear at first sight, from <a href="/colossians/4-10.htm">Colossians 4:10</a>, that he not only stayed with St. Paul during his two years' imprisonment at Rome, but was his "fellow-prisoner," if at least the word συναιχμάλωτος μου ισ to be taken literally. This, however, is very doubtful, because in the Epistle to the Romans (Romans 16:7) St. Paul calls Andronicus and Junius his "fellow-prisoners," though he was not then in prison himself; and also because, in the Epistle to Philemon (Philemon 1:23, 24), he gives this epithet to Epaphras, with the addition ἐν Ξριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ("my fellow-prisoner in Christ Jesus"), and does not give it to Aristarchus, who is named in the same sentence as his συνεργός (see Bishop Lightfoot, on <a href="/colossians/4-10.htm">Colossians 4:10</a>, and Bishop Ellicott, on ibid.). If συναιχμάλωτος is to be taken of a bodily captivity, nothing is known of the occasion which gave rise to it in the case of any of the persons to whom it is applied. <a href="/commentaries/acts/27-2.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>We boarded ἐπιβάντες (epibantes) Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1910.htm">Strong's 1910: </a> From epi and the base of basis; to walk upon, i.e. Mount, ascend, embark, arrive. an Adramyttian Ἀδραμυττηνῷ (Adramyttēnō) Adjective - Dative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_98.htm">Strong's 98: </a> Belonging to Adramyttium, a port in Mysia, in Asia Minor.
