He did "abide and even winter" for the three WINTER months in Greece (Corinth), Act 20:3, Act 20:6; from which passage it seems that Paul probably left Corinth about a month before the "days of unleavened bread" or the Passover (so as to allow time to touch at Thessalonica and Berea, from which cities two of his companions were; as we read he did at Philippi); so that thus the three months at Corinth would be December, January, and February [BIRKS, HorÃ&brvbr ApostolicÃ&brvbr]. ye--emphatical in the Greek. whithersoever I go--He purposed to go to Judea (Co2 1:16) from Corinth, but his plans were not positively fixed as yet (see on Co1 16:4; compare Act 19:21).
