And we sailed . . . from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread--(that is, the Passover). This, compared with Co1 16:8, shows that the three months spent at Corinth (Act 20:3) were the winter months.
came . . . to Troas--for the third and last time. (See on Act 16:8 and Act 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. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
After the days of unleavened bread - After the seven days of the Passover, during which they ate only unleavened bread. See Exo. 12.
In five days - They crossed the Aegean Sea. Paul, when he crossed it on a former occasion, did it in two days Act 16:11-12; but the navigation of the sea is uncertain, and they were now probably hindered by contrary winds. |

Days of unleavened bread - The seven days of the passover, in which they ate unleavened bread. See the account of this festival in the notes on Exodus 12:1-51 (note). It is evident, from the manner in which St. Luke writes here, that he had not been with St. Paul since the time he accompanied him to Philippi, Act 16:10-12; but he now embarks at Philippi with the apostle, and accompanies him to Troas, and continues with him through the rest of his journey.
To Troas in five days - So long they were making this voyage from Philippi, being obliged to keep always by the coast, and in sight of the land; for the magnetic needle was not yet known. See the situation of these places upon the map. |
