John Gill Commentary Acts 27:4

"And putting to sea from thence, we sailed under the lee of Cyprus, because the winds were contrary." — Acts 27:4 (ASV)

And when we had launched from thence
From Sidon:

we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary ;
that is, they sailed below the island of Cyprus; of which see (Acts 4:36) (13:4) whereas if the wind had been right for them, they would have sailed above the island; leaving it on the right hand, in a straight course to Myra; but now they were obliged to go below it, leaving it on the left hand, going in part about it, through the seas of Cilicia and Pamphylia to Lycia, as follows.
