Commentary on Acts 20:13

Theological / Devotional

We went before. The companions of Paul (see v. 4) including Luke, proceeded on their journey by sea, before Paul set out from Troas by foot. Whether these companions were present for the night meeting is not clear.

Minding himself. That is, intending himself. Except for ch. 23:24 there is no record of Paul’s traveling any other way but by ship or foot. Paul walked about 35 mi., doubtless on a paved Roman road, across a point of land from the city of Troas to Assos.
