Contextual Overview
15 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were going up to Jerusalem, 16 and there went also of the disciples from Cesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple. 17 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us, 18 and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came, 19 and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration, 20 and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law, 21 and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostacy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying -- Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk; 22 what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come. 23 `This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves, 24 these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk -- thyself also -- the law keeping.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And after those days we took up our carriages,.... Or prepared themselves, both for their journey, and for whatever trials and exercises they were to meet with; they took up their bundles, which hitherto were brought by sea, and now put them upon beasts, going by land from Caesarea:
and went up to Jerusalem; which stood on higher ground, and was, as Josephus n says, six hundred furlongs, or seventy five miles distant.
n De Bello Jud. l. 1. c. 3. sect. 5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
After those days - After what had occurred, as related in the previous verses.
We took up our carriages - This is a most unhappy translation. The word carriage we apply now exclusively to a vehicle for conveying anything as a coach, chariot, gig, cannon carriage, etc. The original word means simply that they prepared themselves; made themselves ready; put their baggage in order, etc. ἀποσκευασάμενοι aposkeuasamenoi. They prepared for the journey. The English word carriage was formerly used in the sense of what is carried, baggage, burden, vessels, furniture, etc. Thus, it was used in the time that our translation was made; and in this sense it is to be understood in 1 Samuel 17:22, “And David left his carriage (baggage) in the hand of the keeper of the carriage,” etc. See Acts 21:20, margin; Isaiah 10:28, “At Michmash he hath laid up his carriages” (his baggage, etc.).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 21:15. Took up our carriages — αποσκευασαμενοι; We made ourselves ready; packed up our things; got our baggage in order. This is what the text means.
