Acts 21:5-8
5 When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And we knelt down on the shore and prayed. 6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned home. 7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. 8 On the next day we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
Traveling on after long goodbyes and prayer from the disciples and all their families, Paul and company sailed to Ptolemais and Caesarea. There they lodged at Philip’s house - the same Philip chosen with Stephen who was murdered for his testimony as Saul watched. Now Paul was no longer Saul, and had fellowship with the fellow servant of the one whose death he consented to. God heals and saves people to bring together in Christ in ways man cannot in his fallen state. Grace is seen here.
