Context of Acts 21:6
4And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; who said to Paul by the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5But when we had completed the days, we set out and took our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, till [we were] out of the city. And kneeling down upon the shore we prayed. And having embraced one another, we went on board ship, and they returned home. 7And we, having completed the voyage, arrived from Tyre at Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them. 8And leaving on the morrow, we came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him.
