Acts 20:18

ὑμεῖς : “ye yourselves,” R.V., ipsi, emphatic, cf. Acts 10:37; Acts 15:7. ἀπὸ π. ἡ.: to be connected with what follows, although it is quite possible that the word may hold a middle place (Alford), connected partly with ἐπίσ. and partly with ἐγεν. ἐπέβην : “set foot in Asia,” R.V., only in Acts, except Matthew 21:5, also with the dative of place, Acts 25:1, but the local meaning is doubtful (LXX, Joshua 14:9). Rendall renders “I took ship for Asia,” but although the expression elsewhere refers to a voyage, cf. Acts 21:2; Acts 21:4; Acts 21:6; Acts 27:2, it is not always so used, e.g., Acts 25:1. πῶς μεθʼ ὑ.… ἐγεν., cf. Acts 7:38 (versor cum), Acts 9:19; Mark 16:10. Bethge points out that the phrase is always used of intimate association and contrasts the less intimate significance of σύν. See also critical note and reading in.
