Acts 21:5-6

Acts 21:5-6

[5] And  when  had  accomplished  those days,  we departed  and went our way;  and they all  on our way,  with  wives  and  children,  till  we were out of  the city:  and  we kneeled down  on  the shore,  and prayed.  [6] And  when we had taken our leave  one of another,  ship;  and  they  home  again. 

What does Acts 21:5-6 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

As they had done when leaving the Ephesian elders, Paul and his fellow missionaries kneeled down and prayed with these believers before they parted (cf. Acts 20:36). This reflects Paul"s ongoing commitment to and dependance on God. Then they reboarded the ship, and the Christians of Tyre returned home.
