This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Touched (κατήχθημεν)
From κατά, down, and ἄγω, to lead or bring. To bring the ship down from deep water to the land. Opposed to ἀνήχθημεν, put to sea (Act 27:2); which is to bring the vessel up (ἀνά) from the land to deep water. See on Luk 8:22. Touched is an inferential rendering. Landed would be quite as good. From Caesarea to Sidon, the distance was about seventy miles.
Courteously (φιλανθρώπως)
Only here in New Testament. Lit., in a man-loving way; humanely; kindly. Rev., kindly, better than courteously. Courteous, from court, expresses rather polish of manners than real kindness.
To refresh himself (ἐπιμελείας τυχεῖν)
Lit., to receive care or attention.
