Context of Acts 20:6

4He was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy also, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. 5These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas. But we sailed from Philippi after the Festival of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined the others at Troas, where we stayed seven days. 7On the first day of the week we came together to break bread. Paul spoke to the people and, because he intended to leave the next day, kept on talking until midnight. 8There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we were meeting.

Commentaries on Acts 20:6

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6Days of unleavened bread - The seven days of the passover, in which they ate unleavened bread. See the account of this festival in the notes on Exodus 12:1-51 (note). It is evident, from the manner in which St. Luke writes here, that he had not been with St. Paul since the time he accompanied him to Philippi, Acts 16:10-12; but he now embarks at Philippi with the apostle, and accompanies him to Troas, and continues with him through the rest of his…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6After the days of unleavened bread - After the seven days of the Passover, during which they ate only unleavened bread. See Acts 16:11-12; but the navigation of the sea is uncertain, and they were now probably hindered by contrary winds.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 5-15This is another of the “we” passages in Acts (sections where Luke includes himself in the story; see study note on 16:10). Luke likely joined Paul again at Philippi, where he had stayed some years earlier. He then traveled with Paul to Jerusalem (21:1–18).Read the comment
