Theophylact of Ohrid

Commentary on Acts (1107)

"Julius, treating Paul kindly." And it was natural to lead and support Paul, who was weighed down by chains and fear. Notice how the writer does not conceal the fact that Paul was in need of care for himself.

Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

We touched at Sidon - See the notes on Mat 11:21. Sidon was about 67 miles north of Caesarea, and the passage could be easily accomplished, under favorable circumstances, in 24 hours. It is probable that the vessel, being a “coaster,” put in there for purposes of trade. Sidon is the last city on the Phoenician coast in which the presence of the apostle can be traced. And Julius courteously entreated Paul - Treated him kindly or humanely. And gave him liberty ... - The same thing had been done by Felix, Act 24:23. Unto his friends - In Sidon.
