New English Translation
6 we said farewell[a] to one another. Then[b] we went aboard the ship, and they returned to their own homes.[c] 7 We continued the voyage from Tyre[d] and arrived at Ptolemais,[e] and when we had greeted the brothers, we stayed with them for one day. 8 On the next day we left[f] and came to Caesarea,[g] and entered[h] the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven,[i] and stayed with him.
