⁵ So these, having come before us [other MSS: after going on], continued waiting (or: were for a while remaining) in Troas,

⁸ So, skirting alongside (or: bypassing) Mysia, they went down into Troas.

¹⁰ Now as [soon as] he saw the vision [D reads: Then, being aroused he related the vision in detail to us and we understood.] we immediately endeavored to go forth into Macedonia, progressively putting [aspects of the vision] together and mutually concluding that God [D and others read: {the} Lord] had called to us, to bring them [D reads: those in Macedonia] the good news – the message of goodness, ease and well-being. ¹¹ Therefore, setting sail and putting out to sea, from Troas we followed a straight course (i.e., were sailing before the wind) unto Samothrace, but on the following [day we went] to Neapolis,

⁶ yet we [= Paul and Luke?] put out to sea (or: set sail) from Philippi, after the days [= the Feast] of Unleavened [Bread], and came to them, after five days [entering] into Troas, where we spent seven days. ⁷ Now on that one particular sabbath (literally: in the one of the sabbaths), at our having been gathered together to break bread (= share a meal), Paul began dialoging with (or: discussing and reasoning through a discourse to) them. [He was] being about to depart on the next day, so he continued prolonging the message (stretching out beside [them] the thoughts and reasons of the Logos) until midnight. ⁸ So in the upper room (or: chamber; = upstairs or in the upper story) where we were gathered together, there were quite a few lamps.

¹³ Now we ourselves (= the rest of us), going ahead by boat, sailed on to Assos, being about (= planning; intending) to take up Paul – for thus [he] had arranged, [as] he himself was being about to continue going on, [taking a shortcut], by foot. [note: this was a journey of about twenty miles over a paved Roman road, and was less than half the distance of the sea voyage around Cape Lectum] ¹⁴ So as [soon as] he was joining us in Assos, after taking him up (= on board), we went into Mitylene. ¹⁵ Then from there, sailing away on the succeeding [day], we arrived down in front of and face to face with Chios. Yet on a different day, we threw alongside and touched into Samos, but then on the following [day], we came into Miletus.

¹² Now on coming (or: going) into Troas – [proceeding] into Christ's good news (message of goodness, ease and wellness which is the Anointing), there also having been opened up, and still standing open, a door to and for me, within [the] Lord [= Christ or Yahweh] (or: by me, in union with the Master and Owner) –

¹³ [and] in coming, be bringing the traveling cloak, which I left behind in Toras with Carpus, and the little scrolls – especially the parchment notebooks (or: vellum [note: which is made from dressed animal skins]). [note: the Greek 'phailones/phelones', here translated "traveling cloak, " literally means "bark." The Syriac version renders it "valise; book carrier." Vincent notes that the 5th century lexicographer Hesychius (of Alexandria) explained this word as a "case." He also says Phrynicus (3rd century) describes it as a receptacle for books or other things, and that this word "a wrapper of parchments" was translated figuratively in Latin by toga or paenula "a cloak." Nevertheless, Vincent and most other scholars stay with the traditional rendering, "cloak."]
