Launched forth (ἀνήχθησαν)
See on Luk 5:3. The verb literally means to lead up; hence to lead up to the high sea, or take to sea; put to sea. It is the word used of Jesus' being led up into the wilderness and the mount of temptation (Mat 4:1; Luk 2:22); also of bringing up a sacrifice to an idol-altar (Act 7:41). Often in Acts in the accounts of Paul's voyages. |
