But I will tarry at Ephesus till Pentecost.
] The feast of weeks, or of harvest, which was fifty days from
the passover; (See Gill on Acts
2:1) which though abrogated at the death of Christ, was
observed by the Jews, and is mentioned by the apostle, not as a
festival that the Christians were obliged to regard, or did
regard, but as pointing out the time he intended to stay at
Ephesus: and we elsewhere read, that he was greatly desirous of
being at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, ( Acts 20:16 ) not to keep
it, but because there would then be abundance of people from all
parts there, to whom he should have an opportunity of preaching
the Gospel.
1 Corinthians 16:8
