A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
this continued . . . two years--in addition to the former three months. See on Act 20:31. But during some part of this period he must have paid a second unrecorded visit to Corinth, since the one next recorded (see on Act 20:2-3) is twice called his third visit (Co2 12:14; Co2 13:1). See on Co2 1:15-16, which might seem inconsistent with this. The passage across was quite a short one (see on Act 18:19) --Towards the close of this long stay at Ephesus, as we learn from Co1 16:8, he wrote his FIRST EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS; also (though on this opinions are divided) the EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS. (See Introduction to First Corinthians, and Introduction to Galatians). And just as at Corinth his greatest success was after his withdrawal to a separate place of meeting (Act 18:7-10), so at Ephesus.

so that all they which dwelt in--the Roman province of

Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks--This is the "great door and effectual opened unto him" while resident at Ephesus (Co1 16:9), which induced him to make it his headquarters for so long a period. The unwearied and varied character of his labors here are best seen in his own subsequent address to the elders of Ephesus (Act 20:17, &c.). And thus Ephesus became the "ecclesiastical center for the entire region, as indeed it remained for a very long period" [BAUMGARTEN]. Churches arose at Colosse, Laodicea, and Hierapolis eastward, either through his own labors or those of his faithful helpers whom he sent out in different directions, Epaphras, Archippus, Philemon (Col 1:7; Col 4:12-17; Plm 1:23).

16 And [2532] when [3752] this epistle [1992] is read [314] among [3844] you [5213], cause [4160] that [2443] it be read [314] also [2532] in [1722] the church [1577] of the Laodiceans [2994]; and [2532] that [2443] ye [5210] [314] likewise [2532] read [314] the epistle from [1537] Laodicea [2993].

9 Then [1161] spake [2036] the Lord [2962] to Paul [3972] in [1223] the night [3571] by [1722] a vision [3705], Be [5399] not [3361] afraid [5399], but [235] speak [2980], and [2532] hold [4623] not [3361] thy peace [4623]:

19 And [1161] he came [2658] to [1519] Ephesus [2181], and [2548] left [2641] them there [847]: but [1161] he himself [846] entered [1525] into [1519] the synagogue [4864], and reasoned with [1256] the Jews [2453].
15 And [2532] in this [5026] confidence [4006] I was minded [1014] to come [2064] unto [4314] you [5209] before [4386], that [2443] ye might have [2192] a second [1208] benefit [5485];
16 And [2532] to pass [1330] by [1223] you [5216] into [1519] Macedonia [3109], and [2532] to come [2064] again [3825] out of [575] Macedonia [3109] unto [4314] you [5209], and [2532] of [5259] you [5216] to be brought on my way [4311] toward [1519] Judaea [2449].
1 This [5124] is the third [5154] time I am coming [2064] to [4314] you [5209]. In [1909] the mouth [4750] of two [1417] or [2532] three [5140] witnesses [3144] shall [2476] every [3956] word [4487] be established [2476].
14 Behold [2400], the third time [5154] I am [2192] ready [2093] to come [2064] to [4314] you [5209]; and [2532] I will [2655] not [3756] be burdensome [2655] to you [5216]: for [1063] I seek [2212] not [3756] yours [5216], but [235] you [5209]: for [1063] the children [5043] ought [3784] not [3756] to lay up [2343] for the parents [1118], but [235] the parents [1118] for the children [5043].

3 And [5037] there abode [4160] three [5140] months [3376]. And when the Jews [5259] [2453] laid [1096] wait [1917] for him [846], as he was about [3195] to sail [321] into [1519] Syria [4947], he purposed [1096] [1106] to return [5290] through [1223] Macedonia [3109].
31 Therefore [1352] watch [1127], and remember [3421], that [3754] by the space of three years [5148] I ceased [3973] not [3756] to warn [3560] every [1538] one [1520] night [3571] and [2532] day [2250] with [3326] tears [1144].
