For Paul's plan was to sail past Ephesus, so as not to spend much time in the province of Asia; since he was very desirous of being in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of the Harvest Festival.
Paulo alikuwa amekusudia kuendelea na safari kwa meli bila kupitia Efeso ili asikawie zaidi huko Asia. Alikuwa na haraka ya kufika Yerusalemu kwa sikukuu ya Pentekoste kama ingewezekana.
