<p>20:6 <i>And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread; and in five days came to those at Troas, where we stayed seven days</i>- It took them only two days previously (16:11,12), and I suggested there that this was because the wind of the Spirit was behind them. But the whole plan of going to Rome via Jerusalem was not ideally what God wanted; the Spirit witnessed against it in every town along the way, and the wind / spirit was against him right from the start. The wind was likewise against the journey to Malta; and the nautical details at 28:13 see note there show that even from there to Rome was against the wind. </p>
