Acts 20:38

sorrowing … the words which he spake More literally "the word which he had spoken" (Rev. Ver.).

that they should see, &c. The word in the original is not that which the Apostle uses in Acts 20:25, when he says he shall not come again. So the Rev. Ver.has well given " behold." The Greek expresses the earnest reverent gaze, with which we can fancy those who knew the Apostle and his work would look upon him. His presence filled not only the eye, but the mind, they contemplated all which the sight of him would recall.

And they accompanied him unto the ship Rev. Ver."And they brought him on his way, &c." thus making the rendering of the verb here agree with the language of Acts 15:3 and Acts 21:5. They would not lose one look or one word before they were forced to do so. We can see from these words that the harbour was at some distance from the town of Miletus. See on Acts 20:15; Acts 20:17.
