5 These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
5 These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas,
5 They went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.
5 These men, going ahead, waited for us at Troas.
5 They went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts 20:5
Commentary on Acts 20:1-6
(Read Acts 20:1-6)
Tumults or opposition may constrain a Christian to remove from his station or alter his purpose, but his work and his pleasure will be the same, wherever he goes. Paul thought it worth while to bestow five days in going to Troas, though it was but for seven days' stay there; but he knew, and so should we, how to redeem even journeying time, and to make it turn to some good account.
