Book ◦ Chapter

Sailing on from there
This phrase indicates the continuation of Paul's third missionary journey. The journey by sea was a common mode of travel in the ancient Mediterranean world, often dictated by prevailing winds and currents. Paul's travels were strategic for spreading the Gospel, as he visited key cities that were centers of trade and culture.

we arrived the next day opposite Chios
Chios is an island in the Aegean Sea, known in antiquity for its wine and mastic production. The phrase "opposite Chios" suggests that Paul and his companions sailed along the coast, likely staying close to land for navigation and safety. This reflects the typical maritime routes of the time, which avoided open sea travel when possible.

The day after that we arrived at Samos
Samos is another island in the Aegean Sea, famous for its temple of Hera and as the birthplace of the philosopher Pythagoras. The mention of Samos highlights the route taken by Paul, which was a well-traveled path connecting various islands and coastal cities. This journey underscores the interconnectedness of the ancient world and the spread of early Christianity through established trade routes.

and on the following day we came to Miletus
Miletus was an important ancient city located on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). It was a major port and a center of commerce and culture. Paul's decision to stop at Miletus, rather than Ephesus, was likely due to time constraints, as he was hurrying to reach Jerusalem by Pentecost. Miletus is significant in the biblical narrative as the place where Paul delivered a farewell address to the Ephesian elders, emphasizing themes of leadership, vigilance, and the Holy Spirit's guidance.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(15)We sailed thence . . .--After the usual manner of the Mediterranean navigation of the time, the ship put into harbour, where it was possible, every evening. Each of the stations named--Lesbos, Chios, Samos--has legendary and historical associations of its own, full of interest for the classical student; but these, we may well believe--the revolt of Mitylene in the Peloponnesian War (Thuc. Book iii.), the brilliant tyranny of Polycrates at Samos (Herod. iii. 39-56), even "the blind old man of Scio's rocky isle"--were nothing to the Apostle and his companions. Trogyllium, the last station named before Miletus, was a promontory on the mainland, forming the extremity of the ridge of Mycale, and separated from Samos by a narrow channel of about a mile in width. Miletus, famous for its dyes and woollen manufactures, memorable in its earlier history for the disastrous issue of its revolt against Persia (Herod. v. 28-36), was practically the port of Ephesus, the harbour of which had been gradually choked by the accumulation of silted-up sand.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 15.- Sailing from forwe sailed, A.V.;we came forand came, A.V.;following fornext, A.V.;touched forarrived, A.V.;and the day after forand tarried at Trogyllium;and the next day, A.V. and T.R.Over against Chios. Their course would lie through the narrow strait between Chios on the west and the mainland on the east.Samos. The large island opposite Ephesus. There they touched, orput in (παρεβάλομεν). If the clause in the T.R. is genuine, they did not pass the night at Samos, but "made a short run from thence in the evening to Trogyllium (Alford), "the rocky extremity of the ridge of Mycale, on the Ionian coast, between which and the southern extremity of Samos the channel is barely a mile wide" ('Speaker's Commentary').We came to Miletus. Anciently the chief city of Ionia, and a most powerful maritime and commercial place, about twenty-eight miles south of Ephesus; though in the time of Homer it was a Carian city. In St. Paul's time it was situated on the south-west coast of the Latmian gulf, just opposite the mouth of the Meander on the east. But since his time the whole gulf of Latmos has been filled up with soil brought down by the river, so that Miletus is no longer on the seacoast, and the new mouth of the Meander is to the west instead of to the east of Miletus, which lies about eight miles inland (Lewin, vol. it. p. 90; Smith's 'Dict. of Geog.'). Miletus was the scat of a bishopric in after times. As regards this visit to Miletus, some identify it with that mentioned in2 Timothy 4:20. And it is certainly remarkable that so many of the same persons in connection with the same places are mentioned in both passages and in the pastoral Epistles generally. The identical persons are Paul, Timothy, Luke, Trophimus, Tychicus, and Apollos (Acts 20:4, 5, compared with2 Timothy 4:11, 12, 20); and the identical places are Corinth, Thessalonica, Troas, Ephesus, Miletus, and Crete. But the other circumstances do not agree well with the events of this journey, but seem to belong to a later period of St. Paul's life (see below, ver. 25, note).
