Context of Acts 21:8

6and said goodbye to each other. Then we went aboard the ship, and the disciples went back home. 7Our sea travel ended when we sailed from Tyre to the city of Ptolemais. We greeted the believers in Ptolemais and spent the day with them. The next day we went to Philip’s home in Caesarea and stayed with him. He was a missionary and one of the seven men who helped the apostles. 9Philip had four unmarried daughters who had the ability to speak what God had revealed. 10After we had been there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus arrived from Judea.

Commentaries on Acts 21:8

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 8We that were of Paul's company - ̔ · This clause is wanting in ABCE, and many others; the Syriac, Coptic, Vulgate, Armenian, etc. Came unto Caesarea - This was Caesarea of Palestine, already sufficiently described, See on Acts 8:40; (note). Philip the evangelist - One of the seven deacons, who seems to have settled here after he had baptized the eunuch. See on Acts 8:40; (note).Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 8We that were of Paul‘s company - From this it would appear that they had been attended thus far by some persons who were going only to Ptolemais.
