Context of Acts 27:2

1When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, Paul and some other prisoners were handed over to a centurion named Julius, who belonged to the Imperial Regiment. We boarded an Adramyttian ship about to sail for ports along the coast of Asia, and we put out to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, was with us. 3The next day we landed at Sidon, and Julius treated Paul with consideration, allowing him to visit his friends and receive their care. 4After putting out from there, we sailed to the lee of Cyprus because the winds were against us.

Commentaries on Acts 27:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2A ship of Adramyttium - There were several places of this name; and in different MSS. the name is variously written. The port in question appears to have been a place in Mysia, in Asia Minor. And the abb Vertot, in his history of the Knights of Malta, says it is now called Mehedia. Others think it was a city and seaport of Africa, whence the ship mentioned above had been fitted out; but it is more probable that the city and seaport here meant is that on…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2A ship of Adramyttium - A maritime town of Mysia, in Asia Minor, opposite to the island of Lesbos.

Doubtless the centurion expected to find another ship, bound for Italy, at some of the ports of Asia Minor, without having to go with this ship all the way to Adramyttium; and in this he was not disappointed. See on Ac 27:6. meaning to sail by the coasts--"places." of Asia--a coasting vessel, which was to touch at the ports of proconsular Asia. one Aristarchus, a…Read the comment
