Acts 14:24-25 - Exposition

They passed through for after they had passed throughout, A.V.; and for they, A.V.; spoken for preached, A.V. ; to for into, A.V. Paul and Barnabas had come from Cyprus to Perga (see Acts 13:13 , note). Thence to Antioch, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe. They now returned from Derbe by Lystra, Iconium, Antioch, Perga. But, instead of taking ship at Perga, after preaching the Word there they went down to Attalia, now Adalia or Satalia, the chief seaport of Pamphylia, some miles west of the month of the Cestrus, probably hearing that a ship was about to sail thence to Antioch. It does not appear that they made any converts or even preached at Attalia.
