The Key Word — εὑρόντες, ehuriskōgenerated
The word εὑρίσκω (ehuriskō) means 'to find' and can refer to both literal and figurative discoveries. It indicates the act of searching and successfully locating something, which in this case is a ship for their journey.
As a second aorist participle, εὑρόντες reflects a completed action — they had found the ship before they boarded it. This participial form connects their discovery to the main action of boarding the ship.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is translated in the Berean Standard Bible as 'Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded it and set sail.' This wording is consistent across several translations, including the KJV and ASV, which emphasize the act of finding the ship.
However, some versions differ in their rendering of εὑρόντες. For example, the BSB and KJV use 'finding,' while the ASV opts for 'having found.' This variation illustrates different approaches to the participial form.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is ἀνήχθημεν, we set sail, which is the conclusion of the action. It is supported by two participial phrases: εὑρόντες and ἐπιβάντες, describing the actions that led to setting sail.
The structure indicates a sequence of actions: first, they found the ship, then they boarded it, and finally, they set sail. This reflects a clear progression in their journey.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word πλοῖον (i.e., ploion), meaning 'boat,' is also found in the Septuagint, where it translates the Hebrew word for 'ship' or 'vessel.' This connection highlights the continuity of maritime language in both the Old and New Testaments.
The Greek term εὑρίσκω corresponds to the Hebrew מָצָא (H4672), which means 'to find.' This shows a thematic link in the context of discovery and journey.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Acts 21:2 tells us that Paul and his companions found a ship that was going to Phoenicia. They boarded the ship and set sail, continuing their journey to Jerusalem. This part of the narrative emphasizes their travels and the logistics of moving from one place to another.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et cum invenissemus navem transfretantem in Phnicen, ascendentes navigavimus.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

The Greek word πλοῖον (ploion) refers to a vessel or ship, derived from the verb meaning 'to sail.' It encompasses various types of boats, including merchant ships and small craft, and is frequently used in the New Testament, notably in Matthew 4:21-22 and Acts 21:2-3. The term has historical usage in classical literature as well.
