ἕως τῆς πεντηκοστῆς. Observe the minute, yet undesigned agreement of this passage with the narrative in the Acts. We find (Acts 19:21) that St Paul had decided on visiting Greece some time before he was able to set out; that he sent Timothy to Macedonia (Acts 19:22), whence (see 1 Corinthians 16:10, and cf. ch. 1 Corinthians 4:17) it was intended that he should proceed to Corinth; and that the ‘many adversaries’ of the next verse (cf. Acts 19:23-41) hindered the Apostle from following him as soon as he had intended.
