Bible Commentary for Acts 21:5

Wesley's Notes for Acts 21:5


21:3 We landed at Tyre - That there should be Christians there was foretold, #Psa 87:4|. What we read in that psalm of the Philistines and Ethiopians also may be compared with #Acts 8:40|; 27:4.

21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days - ln order to spend a Sabbath with them. Who told Paul by the Spirit - That afflictions awaited him at Jerusalem. This was properly what they said by the Spirit. They themselves advised him not to go up. The disciples seemed to understand their prophetic impulse to be an intimation from the Spirit, that Paul, if he were so minded, might avoid the danger, by not going to Jerusalem.

21:7 Having finished our voyage - From Macedonia, #Acts 20:6|, we came to Ptolemais - A celebrated city on the sea coast, anciently called Accos. It is now, like many other once noble cities, only a heap of ruins.
