Verse 12
12. When I came to Troas Literally, But having come to Troas, or, the Troad. The name may imply either the city or its territorial section; but of course Paul was at the city.
It was in the early summer of the year 57 that Paul left Ephesus for Troas, as the commencement of his second tour through Macedonia into Southern Greece. Probably Tychicus and Trophimus were with him. He may have gone by sea, as safer than the land route, with its “perils by robbers.” But a great thoroughfare passed from Ephesus via Smyrna and Pergamos to Troas.
To preach Christ’s gospel His purpose was to establish Christianity, and he seems to have passed the other great cities, because it was at the seaport of Troas he expected Titus to arrive from Corinth, across the AEgean.
A door was opened Access was clear for preaching Christ to the people, and founding a Church.
