This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Paul and his company. Literally Those about (Greek. per.) Paul. A Greek idiom.
loosed = weighed (anchor). Greek. anago. Used in this sense once in Luke (Act_8:22), and thirteen times in Acts (Act_16:11; Act_18:21, &c).
Perga. The capital of Pamphylia. A few miles up the Cestrus, which flows into the bay of Attalia. Now a ruin. John's departure may have been due to some difference as to the change of plan, and the proceeding from the lowlands of Pamphylia to the high ground of Antioch may have been on account of Paul's illness, to which he refers in Gal_1:4, Gal_1:13.
in = of.
departing = having withdrawn. Greek. apochoreo. Only here, Mat_7:23. Luk_9:39.
