acts 20:6 And we sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.

< Acts 20:5
Acts 20:7 >

      6. And we sailed . . . from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread--(that is, the Passover). This, compared with 1Co 16:8, shows that the three months spent at Corinth (Ac 20:3) were the winter months.
      came . . . to Troas--for the third and last time. (See on Ac 16:8 and Ac 20:1).
      in the five days--As it might have been done in two days, the wind must have been adverse. The vivid style of one now present will be here again observed.
      where we abode seven days--that is, arriving on a Monday, they stayed over the Jewish sabbath and the Lord's Day following; Paul occupying himself, doubtless, in refreshing and strengthening fellowship with the brethren during the interval.
