Kisah Para Rasul 27:6

27:6 There the centurion ¹  found ²  a ship from Alexandria ³  sailing for Italy, and he put us aboard it.

[27:6]  ¹ sn See the note on the word centurion in 10:1.

[27:6]  ² tn Grk “finding.” The participle εὑρών (Jeurwn) has been translated as a finite verb due to requirements of contemporary English style.

[27:6]  ³ sn Alexandria (modern Alexandria) was a great city of northern Egypt which was a center for grain trade to Rome. Therefore this type of travel connection was common at the time. For a winter journey (considered hazardous) there were special bonuses and insurance provided (Suetonius, Life of Claudius 18.1-2).
