It commemorates the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their haste in leaving, which did not allow time for their bread to rise. This timing indicates that Paul and his companions were observing Jewish customs, reflecting the early church's connection to Jewish traditions. The feast's symbolism of purity and separation from sin can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the sinless "bread of life" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>).we sailed from Philippi Philippi was a Roman colony in Macedonia, notable for being the first European city where Paul established a church (<a href="/acts/16-12.htm">Acts 16:12-40</a>). The use of "we" suggests that the author, Luke, was present, indicating an eyewitness account. Philippi's strategic location on the Via Egnatia made it a key city for spreading the Gospel in Europe. The departure from Philippi after the feast suggests a careful planning of travel to align with religious observances.and five days later we rejoined them in Troas Troas, a port city in the northwest of Asia Minor, was an important location for Paul's missionary journeys. The journey taking five days may reflect adverse sailing conditions or stops along the way. Troas is significant in Acts as the place where Paul received the vision of the man of Macedonia (<a href="/acts/16-9.htm">Acts 16:9</a>), which led to the Gospel's spread into Europe. The rejoining of the group indicates a coordinated effort in their missionary work.where we stayed seven days The seven-day stay in Troas allowed Paul to engage deeply with the local believers, as seen in the subsequent verses where he preaches and performs a miracle (<a href="/acts/20-7.htm">Acts 20:7-12</a>). The number seven often symbolizes completeness and perfection in the Bible, suggesting a full and meaningful time of ministry. This period also allowed for the observance of the Lord's Day, highlighting the early church's practice of gathering on the first day of the week.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/paul.htm">Paul</a> The apostle who is on his missionary journey, spreading the Gospel and strengthening the early church. 2. <a href="/topical/p/philippi.htm">Philippi</a> A city in Macedonia where Paul had previously established a church.

We; distinctly marking that Luke, the author of the narrative, whom we left at Philippi (<a href="/acts/16-13.htm">Acts 16:13, 14</a>), joined him again at the same place. Renan (p. 498) well remarks, "At Philippi Paul once more met the disciple who had guided him for the first time to Macedonia. He attached him to his company again, and thus secured as his companion in the voyage the historian who was to write an account of it, with such infinite charm of manner and such perfect truth." It may be noted that this passage is quite conclusive against the notion entertained by some, that Timothy was the writer of the Acts. From Philippi; i.e. from Neapolis, the port of Philippi. After the days of unleavened bread, which lasted eight days, including the day of eating the Passover. In five days. An unusually long voyage, owing, doubtless, to unfavorable winds. On the former occasion when he sailed from Troas to Neapolis he was only two days (<a href="/acts/16-11.htm">Acts 16:11</a>). Where we tarried seven days. As the last of these seven days was Sunday - " the first day of the week" - he must have arrived on the preceding Monday, and left Neapolis on the preceding Thursday. Some, however, reckon the days differently. It must be remembered that the apostle's movements were dependent upon the arrival and departure of the merchant ships by which he traveled. <a href="/commentaries/acts/20-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>And δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. after μετὰ (meta) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_3326.htm">Strong's 3326: </a> (a) gen: with, in company with, (b) acc: (1) behind, beyond, after, of place, (2) after, of time, with nouns, neut. of adjectives. the τὰς (tas) Article - Accusative Feminine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
