396 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES tensive journeys for tlie cause of Christ, lie was able, not only to supply liis own wants, but to spare something for the support of his fellow-laborers and the relief of the worthy poor. This he accomplished only by unremitting diligence and the closest economy. Well might he point to his own example, as he said, ''I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It. is more blessed to give than to receive. ^'And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship." From Miletus the travelers sailed in ''a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara." on the southwest shore of Asia Minor, where, ''finding a ship sailing over unto Phoenicia," they ''went aboard, and set forth." At Tyre, where the ship was unloaded, they found a few disciples, with whom they were ^lermitted to tarry seven days. Through the Holy Spirit, these disciples were warned of the perils awaiting Paul at Jerusalem, and they urged him ''that he should not go up to Jerusalem." But the apostle allowed not the fear of affliction and imprisonment to turn him from his purpose. At the close of the week spent in Tyre, all the brethren, with their wives and children, went with Paul to the ship, and before he stepped on board, they knelt upon the shore and prayed, he for them, and they for him.
