‏ Acts 21:2

 Having found a ship ( ευροντες πλοιον ). Paul had used a small coasting vessel (probably hired) that anchored each night at Cos, Rhodes, Patara. He was still some four hundred miles from Jerusalem. But at Patara Paul caught a large vessel (a merchantman) that could sail across the open sea.

 Crossing over unto Phoenicia ( διαπερων εις Φοινικην ). Neuter singular accusative (agreeing with  πλοιον ) present active participle of  διαπεραω, old verb to go between ( δια ) and so across to Tyre.

 We went aboard ( επιβαντες ). Second aorist active participle of  επιβαινω.
