F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Acts 20:1-12

a Messenger of Truth and Life Acts 20:1-12 The Second Epistle to the Corinthians should be read with the introductory verses of this chapter, as it reveals the Apostle’s inner mind at this time. He seems to have been less impressed with the imminent peril from which he had been rescued, and more solicitous as to the condition of the church at Corinth, to which he had addressed his first Epistle during the early days of his Ephesian ministry. Into how small a compass, Acts 20:3 , the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Acts 20:1-38

Restful and mastered by Christ, Paul was yet restless and resistless in devotion to the enterprise of his Lord. These facts are evident throughout this chapter. We follow him in rapid movements, always calm and confident. After tarrying in Greece for three months, he found that a plot was laid against his life and quickly passed overland. Detained in Troas, he ministered to the saints and strengthened their hearts. It was while here that Eutychus, overcome with sleep, fell to death, from... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-6

Paul’s Visits To Macedonia and Greece And Seven Days in Troas (20:1-6). It is indicative of Luke’s concentration on the new direction in which events have turned, and his purpose in writing what follows, that he ignores many things of which we would wish to have been apprised. We are reminded again that Acts is not ‘a life of Paul’. His main concern is now to demonstrate that God will so work events that having been faced with false royal rule at Ephesus the Kingly Rule of God will triumph in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-38

PAUL’S JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM AND THEN TO ROME (19:21-28:31). Here we begin a new section of Acts. It commences with Paul’s purposing to go to Jerusalem, followed by an incident, which, while it brings to the conclusion his ministry in Ephesus, very much introduces the new section. From this point on all changes. Paul’s ‘journey to Jerusalem’ and then to Rome has begun, with Paul driven along by the Holy Spirit. The ending of the previous section as suggested by the closing summary in Acts 19:20... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:3-38

The Journey to Jerusalem (20:3-21:16). As we read this section of Acts some of it may seem a little pointless and repetitive. But we must recognise in it what Luke is doing. One purpose that he has in mind is to depict Paul’s journey as a slow, inexorable progress with the final goal in mind. He wants to hang out the suspense as he slowly approaches Jerusalem and the bonds that await him. But a second purpose that he has in mind is to bring out how successful has been the spread of the word.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:4

‘And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater of Beroea, the son of Pyrrhus; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.’ With him on his journey Paul had a number of people from the different churches. These would come with him to Jerusalem in order to bring their greetings to the church from their own churches and in order to help him guard and hand over the Collection. Luke himself possibly represented... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Acts 20:1-6

Acts 20:1-Joshua : . To Greece; Return to Troas.— The journey sketched in Acts 19:21, 1 Corinthians 16:5-1 Samuel :, is entered on; for what happened at Troas and in Macedonia on the way cf. 2 Corinthians 2:12 f., 2 Corinthians 7:5; but of all that intense experience there is little echo in Acts. The sketches of the journey did not fix what route was to be followed from Greece to Jerusalem; here ( 3 ) we find that the intention was to go by sea. The plan is changed on account of a Jewish... read more

There accompanied him into Asia; their names are set down, as being men called and known at that time in the churches, and that what they did for this holy apostle might be remembered in all ages. Sopater; who is called also Sosipater, Romans 16:21. It is added in some copies, that he was the son of Pyrrhus; which in Greek is the same with Rufus in Latin. Berea; a city of Macedonia, Acts 17:10. Aristarchus; of whom, Acts 19:29, as also of the others, mention hath been formerly made. Of Asia; of... read more

The best authorities insert and exhorted, παρακαλέσας, before and embraced or took leave of them—i.e., the disciples; the word ἀσπασάμενος referring to the farewell blessing and the farewell kiss (compare Acts 21:6).
