What Does Acts 21:6 Mean?
The prayer ended, they embrace and say goodbye; Paul's party boards the ship while the believers of Tyre go back home. The brief fellowship is over, and each returns to the duty before them.
Such partings fill the book of Acts. Believers meet, are knit together for a few days, and separate again, carrying one another in memory and prayer. The bond formed in Christ is not undone by distance. Those who love the same Lord remain one family even when the ship sails and the road home turns the other way.
