لأَنَّ بُولُسَ عَزَمَ أَنْ يَتَجَاوَزَ أَفَسُسَ فِي الْبَحْرِ لِئَلاَّ يَعْرِضَ لَهُ أَنْ يَصْرِفَ وَقْتًا فِي أَسِيَّا، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُسْرِعُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَهُ يَكُونُ فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي يَوْمِ الْخَمْسِينَ.

For Paul had determined to sail by--or "sail past." Ephesus--He was right opposite to it when approaching Chios. because he would not spend time in Asia--the Asian province of which Ephesus was the chief city. for he hasted, if . . . possible . . . to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost--as a suitable season for giving in the great collection from all the western churches, for keeping the feast, and clearing his apostolic position with the Church, then represented in large number at Jerusalem. The words imply that there was considerable ground to doubt if he would attain this object--for more than three of the seven weeks from Passover to Pentecost had already expired--and they are inserted evidently to explain why he did not once more visit Ephesus.
افتح المصدر ↗In this chapter we have, I. Paul's travels up and down about Macedonia, Greece, and Asia, and his coming at length to Troas (Act 20:1-6). II. A particular account of his spending one Lord's day at Troas, and his raising Eutychus to life there (Act 20:7-12). III. His progress, or circuit, for the visiting of the churches he had planted, in his way towards Jerusalem, where he designed to be by the next feast of pentecost (Act 20:13-16). IV. The farewell sermon he preached to the presbyters at Ephesus, now that he was leaving that country (v. 17-35). V. The very sorrowful parting between him and them (Act 20:36-38). And in all these we find Paul very busy to serve Christ, and to do good to the souls of men, not only in the conversion of heathen, but in the edification of Christians.

وَلكِنَّنِي أَمْكُثُ فِي أَفَسُسَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْخَمْسِينَ،
وَلَمَّا حَضَرَ يَوْمُ الْخَمْسِينَ كَانَ الْجَمِيعُ مَعًا بِنَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ،
وَلَمَّا كَمِلَتْ هذِهِ الأُمُورُ، وَضَعَ بُولُسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ بَعْدَمَا يَجْتَازُ فِي مَكِدُونِيَّةَ وَأَخَائِيَةَ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ، قَائِلاً:«إِنِّي بَعْدَ مَا أَصِيرُ هُنَاكَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ أَرَى رُومِيَةَ أَيْضًا».
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَافَرْنَا فِي الْبَحْرِ بَعْدَ أَيَّامِ الْفَطِيرِ مِنْ فِيلِبِّي، وَوَافَيْنَاهُمْ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى تَرُوَاسَ، حَيْثُ صَرَفْنَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
وَتَصْنَعُ لِنَفْسِكَ عِيدَ الأَسَابِيعِ أَبْكَارِ حِصَادِ الْحِنْطَةِ. وَعِيدَ الْجَمْعِ فِي آخِرِ السَّنَةِ.
وَالآنَ هَا أَنَا أَذْهَبُ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ مُقَيَّدًا بِالرُّوحِ، لاَ أَعْلَمُ مَاذَا يُصَادِفُنِي هُنَاكَ.
وَأَمَّا نَحْنُ فَسَبَقْنَا إِلَى السَّفِينَةِ وَأَقْلَعْنَا إِلَى أَسُّوسَ، مُزْمِعِينَ أَنْ نَأْخُذَ بُولُسَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ رَتَّبَ هكَذَا مُزْمِعًا أَنْ يَمْشِيَ.
وَبَعْدَ سِنِينَ كَثِيرَةٍ جِئْتُ أَصْنَعُ صَدَقَاتٍ لأُمَّتِي وَقَرَابِينَ.
وَإِذْ وَجَدْنَا التَّلاَمِيذَ مَكَثْنَا هُنَاكَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. وَكَانُوا يَقُولُونَ لِبُولُسَ بِالرُّوحِ أَنْ لاَ يَصْعَدَ إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ.
فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى أَفَسُسَ وَتَرَكَهُمَا هُنَاكَ. وَأَمَّا هُوَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَجْمَعَ وَحَاجَّ الْيَهُودَ.
