13 But we, going ahead to the ship , set sail for Assos , intending from there to take Paul on board ; for so he had arranged it, intending himself to go by land . 14 And when he met us at Assos , we took him on board and came to Mitylene . 15 Sailing from there , we arrived the following day opposite Chios ; and the next day we crossed over to Samos ; and the day following we came to 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.
