Acts 16:8

And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

And they passing by Mysia, [ Parelthontes (G3928)] - or 'going through' it without stopping,

Came down to Troas - a city on the northeast coast of the AEgean Sea, the boundary of Asia Minor on the west, on the theater of the great Trojan war. Why did they come there? Because (we doubt not) the successive prohibitions to labour any longer in the East had led the capacious spirit of the great apostle to feel that some entirely new field was now to be opened for him; and by coming to the nearest port from which he might take shipping, he would there be in readiness to go wherever he might be ordered.

Divinely Directed, They Proceed Westward to Macedonia, Accompanied by our Historian Himself, and Reach Philippi-Conversion and Baptism of Lydia and her Household (16:9-15)
