This was because Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, to avoid any loss of time in Asia; he wanted to reach Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

During the course of the day of Pentecost they were all together,

After these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to travel through Macedonia and Achaia on his way to Jerusalem. "After I get there," he said, "I must also visit Rome."

I am staying on for the present at Ephesus till Pentecost,

When he knocked at the door of the porch, a maidservant called Rhoda came to answer it;

When they reached Ephesus, Paul left them there. He went to the synagogue and argued with the Jews,

he said goodbye to them, telling them, "I will come back to you, if it is the will of God." Then, sailing from Ephesus,

while we sailed from Philippi, after the days of unleavened bread, and joined them five days later at Troas. There we spent seven days.

Now we had gone on beforehand to the ship and set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was his own arrangement, for he intended to travel by land.

Now here I go to Jerusalem under the binding force of the Spirit. What will befall me there, I do not know.

We found out the local disciples and stayed there for seven days. These disciples told Paul by the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem;

After a lapse of several years I came up with alms and offerings for my nation,

whenever I went to Spain, I am hoping to see you on my way there, and to be sped forward by you after I have enjoyed your company for a while.
