And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread - (that is, after the Passover.) Comparing this with 1 Corinthians 16:8, we gather that the "three months" spent at Corinth (Acts 20:3) were the winter months.
And came unto them to Troas in five days - (see, for the time now taken, the note at Acts 16:11.) This was the apostle's third and last visit to Troas.
Where we abode seven days - that is, arriving on a Monday, they stayed over the next Jewish Sabbath and the Lord's day following; occupying themselves, doubtless, in refreshing and strengthening fellowship with the brethren during the interval. The vivid style of one who was himself present will here be observed. No doubt our historian kept a journal, more or less full, of which he now availed himself.
Meeting with the disciples at Troas-Paul's preaching protracted until midnight-Eutychus restored to life-The communion, the repast, and the parting at break of day (20:7-12)
