“And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.”
But when we had completed the days, we left and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, accompanied us until we were out of the city. And kneeling down on the beach, we prayed — the communal prayer on the shore echoes the prayer traditions of Israel, yet now Christians gather. The departure is both a farewell and a commissioning, the community blessing Paul as he moves toward his passion.
