This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And we sailed ... from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread - (that is, the Passover). This, compared with 1Co 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 see on 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.
