1 Corinthians 16:6

“And it may be that I will abide, etc.] He could not be certain what calls in Providence he might have to some other places, where his presence would be necessary: yea, and winter with you; stay all winter with them, for the space of three months, as we read he did in Greece, (<442001>Acts 20:1-3). That ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go; both by accompanying him in person themselves, in token of honour and respect, and by providing things necessary for his journey; (see <441503>Acts 15:3 21:5).”

“That ye may bring me on my journey - That you may accompany me, or aid me, and furnish me the means of going on my journey. It was customary for the apostles to be attended by some members of the churches and friends in their travels. See the note at Acts 10:23. On my journey ... - Probably to Judea.
