Acts 20:1
The Second Visit to Europe and Return
SUMMARY OF ACTS 20: Paul Departs to Macedonia. And to Greece. Paul at
Troas. The Meeting on the First Day of the Week to Break Bread. To
Miletus. The Meeting with the Elders of the Church at Ephesus.
Paul's Affectionate Warnings. The Sorrowful Farewell.
After the uproar was ceased. It had been his purpose to go into
Macedonia (Acts 19:21), but to remain at Ephesus until after
Pentecost (1 Corinthians 16:8), and that time (about the middle of May, A.D.
57 or 58) had probably come. Hence, having "exhorted" the disciples
(Revised Version), he departed. It was on his way to Greece that Second
Corinthians was written. He speaks in 2 Corinthians 12:14 13:1 of coming
"the third time" to Corinth. Hence, Hackett supposes that during the
three years at Ephesus he made a flying visit to Corinth by sea to
correct disorders in the church there.
