<p>21:2 <em>And having found a ship </em><i>crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail</i>- The idea is that they saw or noticed one. &quot;We went aboard and set sail&quot; could imply it was just about to leave; they arrived just at the last minute. As noted on :1, the Lord was confirming Paul in the path he had chosen, whilst warning him that such a course was not ideal and would be problematic. Whatever choices we make, they are confirmed by the hand of providence; which is what gives intensity of meaning to all our choices.</p>
