Acts 20:14-15

Context
20:14 When he met us in Assos, 1  we took him aboard 2  and went to Mitylene. 3  20:15 We set sail 4  from there, and on the following day we arrived off Chios. 5  The next day we approached 6  Samos, 7  and the day after that we arrived at Miletus. 8 

1 sn Assos was a city of Mysia about 24 mi (40 km) southeast of Troas.

2 tn Grk “taking him aboard, we.” The participle ἀναλαβόντες (analabonte") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

3 sn Mitylene was the most important city on the island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea. It was about 44 mi (70 km) from Assos.

4 tn Grk “setting sail from there.” The participle ἀποπλεύσαντες (apopleusante") has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

5 tn Or “offshore from Chios.”

sn Chios was an island in the Aegean Sea off the western coast of Asia Minor with a city of the same name.

6 tn Or “crossed over to,” “arrived at.” L&N 54.12 has “παραβάλλω: (a technical, nautical term) to sail up to or near – ‘to approach, to arrive at, to sail to.’ παρεβάλομεν εἰς Σάμον ‘we approached Samos’ or ‘we arrived at Samos’ Ac 20:15.”

7 sn Samos is an island in the Aegean Sea off the western coast of Asia Minor.

8 sn Miletus was a seaport on the western coast of Asia Minor about 40 mi (70 km) south of Ephesus. From Mitylene to Miletus was about 125 mi (200 km).
