Acts 20:13-16
13 Then we went ahead to the ship and sailed to Assos, there intending to take Paul on board; for so he had given orders, intending himself to go on foot. 14 And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene. 15 We sailed from there, and the next day came opposite Chios. The following day we arrived at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day we came to Miletus. 16 For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the Day of Pentecost.
Paul walked to Assos to meet the others who sailed there, then they all sailed on through four other places. They went right past Ephesus where Paul had done much work for God because he was hurrying to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. We have to wonder what that festival now meant to them as Christ was the Lamb of God who covered their sins now. So they continued their journey to do God's work of the gospel, making disciples of all nations...
