Contextual Overview

1 AND after the tumult had ceased, Paul called to him the disciples and comforted them and kissed them and then departed and went to Mac-e-do''ni-a. 2 And when he had traveled through those countries and had comforted them with many words, he came to Greece. 3 There he remained three months. But the Jews laid a plot against him, just as he was about to sail for Syria, so he decided to return to Mac-e-do''ni-a. 4 And there accompanied him, as far as Asia Minor, Sop''a-ter of the city of Be-re''a and Ar-is-tar''chus and Se-cun''dus of Thes-sa-loni''ca and Ga''ius of the city of Der''be and Ti-mo''the-us of Ly''stra, and from Asia Minor Tych''i-cus and Troph''i-mus. 5 These men went before us, and waited for us at Tro''as. 6 But we departed from the Mac-e-do''ni-an city of Phi-lip''pi, after the days of unleavened bread, and sailed and arrived at Tro''as in five days, where we staved seven days;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

These going before,.... The apostle into Asia, all but Sopater, who accompanied him:

tarried for us at Troas; a city in Asia Minor; see Acts 16:8 whither they went before hand a nearer way, to provide for the apostle, and where they waited for him, and for Sopater, and for Luke, the writer of this history, who appears from hence to be in company with the apostle, and for as many others as were along with him.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

These going before - Going before Paul and Luke. Dr. Doddridge supposes that only Tychicus and Trophimus went before the others. Perhaps the Greek most naturally demands this interpretation.

Tarried for us - The word “us,” here, shows that Luke had again joined Paul as his companion. In Acts 16:12 it appears that Luke was in Philippi, in the house of Lydia. Why he remained there, or why he did not attend Paul in his journey to Athens, Corinth, Ephesus, etc., is not known. It is evident, however, that he here joined him again.

At Troas - See the notes on Acts 16:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 20:5. Tarried for us at Troas. — See the preceding verse. Troas was a small town in Phrygia Minor, in the province called the Troad: see Acts 16:8.
