Acts 21:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Acts 21:3
We left it on the left hand (εὐώνυμον, euōnymon)—The nautical detail of passing Cyprus to port (left side) while sailing to Syria reflects Luke's eyewitness precision. Landed at Tyre marks a significant stop where the ship would 'unlade her burden' (ἀποφορτίζομαι, apophortízomai), meaning to discharge cargo. Tyre, once denounced by prophets (Isaiah 23, Ezekiel 26-28), now harbored a Christian community—a powerful testimony to the gospel's transforming reach into formerly pagan strongholds.
