Acts 20:6-8
EasyEnglish Bible
6 As for us, we sailed by ship from Philippi, after the festival when the Jews eat flat bread.[a]
After five days we arrived in Troas. We met the other men there and we all stayed there for seven days.
Paul visits the believers in Troas for the last time
7 On the Sunday evening, we met together with the believers. We broke bread into pieces and we shared it with each other. Paul spoke to the believers for a long time, until midnight. This was because he wanted to leave Troas the next day.
8 Many lamps were burning in the upstairs room where we met together.

- 20:6 This was the week before the Passover meal. ‘Flat bread’ is bread which has no yeast in it. During the week of the Passover festival Jews did not eat any food that contained yeast. We think that Paul stayed in Philippi for the Passover festival. At this time they remembered the time when God caused Jesus to live again.
