Da vi nå hadde skilt lag, satte båten seil og holdt stø kurs til vi kom til Kos. Dagen etter kom vi til Rhodos, og derfra gikkreisen til Patara. Der fant vi et skip som skulle seile over til Fønikia. Vi gikk om bord og seilte til Tyros, for der skulle skipet losse lasten sin. På reisen seilte vi forbi Kypros på babord side og videre til Syria før skipet gikk i havn ved Tyros.
What Does This Mean?
This verse describes the journey of Paul and his companions after leaving a group of people. They traveled from one place to another by sea, stopping at Coos, Rhodes, and Patara in quick succession.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're on a fun trip with your family. You leave home, go straight to the first stop, then move to the next town the following day, and finally reach your last destination for the day after that. That's what Paul did, but he traveled by boat!

Living It Out Today
In modern life, this verse teaches us about planning and perseverance in our travel or business ventures. Just like Paul’s journey from place to place without delay, we too should focus on our goals and not get sidetracked easily.
