<p>27:5 <em>And when we had sailed across the sea which is off Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia</em>- Some commentators suggest &quot;Myra&quot; is another name for Smyrna. According to the Lord's letter to them in Rev. 2:8, they were the only one of the seven churches to whom He had nothing negative to say. They were strong in the faith, although facing problems from the Jew who were of &quot;the synagogue of satan&quot;. Paul's journey to Rome is characterized by meetings with other Christians all the way. Yet there is no mention of any such meeting here. Perhaps the situation with the Jew there was too explosive. Or perhaps he didn't know them personally, or for whatever reason, they didn't meet up; rather like Abraham and Melchizedek sharing the same faith but apparently not having much to do with each other in their lives although they were both genuine believers.</p>
