Acts 18:19-21
19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there; but he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews. 20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent, 21 but took leave of them, saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus.
Paul came with Priscilla and Aquila from Corinth to Ephesus, then left them to speak the gospel in the synagogue. Those there even asked Paul to stay longer after he told them he had to go to Jerusalem for the feast, and he said it was important but that he planned on returning if God so granted it. Paul took a vow to keep what most likely was the Passover with those he knew there. He had a mission to accomplish, and still kept priorities in mind as he followed God's leading, a good example.
