Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Acts 20:6

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them in Troas in five days; where we tarried seven days.We ... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 20:5

(5) These going before tarried for us at Troas.—Two motives may be assigned for this arrangement—(1) It enabled St. Paul to keep the Passover with the church at Philippi, starting “after the days of unleavened bread,” and that feast was already assuming a new character as the festival of the Resurrection, bringing with it also the commemoration that “Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us” (1 Corinthians 5:7-8); (2) The disciples who went on in advance would announce St. Paul’s coming to the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Acts 20:6

(6) And came unto them to Troas in five days.—The voyage from Troas to Philippi (see Notes on Acts 16:11-12) had taken only three days, but the ship had now to contend against the south-west current that set in from the Dardanelles, and probably also against the Etesian winds blowing from the north-east that prevail in the Archipelago in the spring.Where we abode seven days.—It lies on the surface that the motive for this stay was to keep the Lord’s day (the name was probably already current;... read more

The Sunday Sleeper Acts 20:9 In considering Eutychus, I purpose looking first at the things which may be said in excuse of his famous sleep, and then pass on to look at what was blameworthy in it. I. And first of all, in excuse of this poor young man, I must remark (1) that he was listening to a very long sermon. It is said that on one occasion a child in the Sunday-school was asked by her teacher, 'What does the story of Eutychus teach?' and she promptly replied, 'That ministers should not... read more
