Commentary on Acts 20:10

Theological / Devotional

Went down. The access to Eastern houses was frequently by a staircase on the outside. Paul’s action recalls that of Elijah (1 Kings 17:21) and of Elisha (2 Kings 4:34). No doubt the apostle, like the OT prophets, accompanied his action with a cry to the Lord.

Trouble not yourselves. Literally, “Stop making a tumult,” “Stop distressing yourselves.”
