“And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:”
When we had torn ourselves away from them and had set sail, we ran a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara — Paul's missionary journey reaches its climax as the narrative moves toward Jerusalem with urgency, mirroring the Gospel accounts of Jesus' final ascent. The voyage itself is matter-of-fact, yet theologically weighted: Paul moves toward his passion, and the very geography becomes redemptive geography.
