Acts 20:13-15

The Voyage from Troas to Miletus

¹³ In the meantime, the rest of us had gone on ahead to the ship and sailed for Assos, where we planned to pick up Paul. Paul wanted to walk there, and so had made these arrangements earlier. ¹⁴ Things went according to plan: We met him in Assos, took him on board, and sailed to Mitylene. ¹⁵ The next day we put in opposite Chios, Samos a day later, and then Miletus.

Commentary on Acts 20:13-16

(Read Acts 20:13-16)

Paul hastened to Jerusalem, but tried to do good by the way, when going from place to place, as every good man should do. In doing God's work, our own wills and those of our friends must often be crossed; we must not spend time with them when duty calls us another way.
