Acts 21:15

15, 16. (15) " And after those days, we packed up our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem. (16) Some of the disciples from Cæsarea went with us, conducting us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, and an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. " The journey had been accomplished in time for the feast of Pentecost. This is made to appear by enumerating the days spent on the journey from Philippi. Leaving that city immediately after the days of unleavened bread, which was seven days after the Passover, he reached Troas in five days, where he spent seven. Four days were occupied in the passage from Troas to Miletus. Two are sufficient to allow for the stay at Miletus. In three he sailed from Miletus to Patara, which place he left the same day he reached it; and two more days, with favorable weather, would take him to Tyre. There he spent seven days, and three in the journey thence to Cæsarea. Allowing two days more for the journey from Cæsarea to Jerusalem, we have enumerated only forty-two of the forty-nine days intervening between the Passover and Pentecost, leaving seven for the stay at the house of Philip. That the feast of Pentecost did transpire immediately after his arrival in Jerusalem, is indicated by the immense multitude of Jews then assembled there, and the presence of some from the province of Asia, who had known Paul in Ephesus. Nothing but the annual feasts brought together in Jerusalem the Jews from distant provinces.
