Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:6

After the days of unleavened bread - After the seven days of the Passover, during which they ate only unleavened bread. See Exodus 12:0.In five days - They crossed the Aegean Sea. Paul, when he crossed it on a former occasion, did it in two days Acts 16:11-12; but the navigation of the sea is uncertain, and they were now probably hindered by contrary winds. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Acts 20:4-6

Acts 20:4-6. And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea, &c. The several persons mentioned in this verse are thought by some to have been joined with Paul as messengers of the churches, in carrying their contributions to the poor brethren at Jerusalem. We know but few particulars of most of them. Sopater is thought to be the same with Sosipater, mentioned by Paul as his kinsman, Romans 16:21. Aristarchus and Secundus are the Macedonians of whom he speaks, 2 Corinthians... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Acts 20:3-12

Return to Macedonia and Troas (20:3-12)Although Paul was planning to visit Rome, his immediate concern was to go to Jerusalem with the money he had been collecting from the Gentile churches (Romans 15:24-26; Acts 19:21). But just as he was about to set sail, he heard of a Jewish plot to kill him. So he changed his plans and returned through Macedonia (3). In Macedonia, probably at Philippi, Luke rejoined the party (indicated by the renewed use of ‘we’ and ‘us’ in the narrative). They then... read more

Here begins again the famous "we" passages of Acts, indicating that the physician Luke, author of this narrative, had rejoined Paul. Luke was to continue with Paul almost constantly throughout the whole time covered by Acts, with the exception of time that Luke used to research material for his Gospel while Paul was imprisoned in Caesarea and also the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Acts 20:6

Acts 20:6. Where we abode seven days.— St. Paul might choose to do this so much the rather, as he had declined such great views of service as were open to him when he passed through it before, in his way to Macedonia, 2 Corinthians 2:12-13. Perhaps he might now lodge at the house of Carpus; but it seems to have been on a later journey, that he left there the books and other things to which he refers, 2 Timothy 4:13. It plainly appears, from the manner in which St. Luke speaks here, and all... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:6

6. And we sailed . . . from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread—(that is, the Passover). This, compared with 1 Corinthians 16:8, shows that the three months spent at Corinth (1 Corinthians 16:8- :) were the winter months. came . . . to Troas—for the third and last time. (See on 1 Corinthians 16:8- : and Acts 20:2). 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... read more

Paul’s visit to Macedonia and Achaia 20:1-6"This report of Paul’s return visit to Macedonia and Achaia is the briefest account of an extended ministry in all of Acts-even more so than the summary of the ministry at Ephesus (cf. Acts 19:8-12). Nevertheless, it can be filled out to some extent by certain personal references and historical allusions in 2 Corinthians and Romans, which were written during this time."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Acts 20:5-6

Apparently these men travelled from Corinth to Philippi with Paul. In Philippi Paul met Luke who may have ministered there since Paul had founded the Philippian church (cf. Acts 16:10-40). Paul’s team celebrated the feast of Unleavened Bread, which followed immediately after Passover, in Philippi. This eight-day festival began with Passover and continued with the feast of Unleavened Bread. The Jews commonly referred to the whole holiday as the feast of Unleavened Bread since it was the longer... read more

Third Missionary Journey (continued)1-6. Paul in Macedonia and Greece. St. Paul waited at Ephesus until the return of Timothy and Erastus, and left Ephesus shortly after Pentecost, 55 a.d. (1 Corinthians 16:8-12). We learn from Romans 15:19 that he spent some time in Macedonia, and extended his missionary labours (which were marked by signal miracles) as far as Illyricum. From Macedonia he wrote the second Corinthian Epistle, and (according to a widely held opinion) the Epistle to the... read more
