After a week with the disciples at Tyre Paul sails south to Ptolemais (the Phoenician harbor formerly called Acco) where he spends one day greeting the brothers before pressing on by land to Caesarea and Philip the evangelists house on his final voyage to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:7-8 narrates the closing stages of Paul's final voyage to Jerusalem after his third missionary journey: "And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him." Ptolemais was the Hellenistic-era name (after Ptolemy II of Egypt) of the ancient Phoenician harbor of Acco — the same coastal port the tribe of Asher had failed to drive out at the conquest centuries earlier.
