Acts 28:12 - Exposition

Touching for landing, A.V. Touching ( καταχθέντες ); Acts 21:3 ; Acts 27:3 , note. The way in which Syracuse is hero mentioned is another redundant proof that Melita is Malta. "Syracause is about eighty miles, a days' sail, from Malta" (Afford). Tarried there three days . Perhaps wind- bound, or possibly having to land part of their cargo there.
