Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And it may be that I will abide,.... 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, Act 20:1. 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 Act 15:3.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Yea, and winter with you - He purposed to stay till pentecost at Ephesus; after that to go to Macedonia, and probably to spend the summer there; and come in the autumn to Corinth, and there spend the winter. That ye may bring me on my journey - That ye may furnish me with the means of travelling. It appears that, in most cases, the different Churches paid his expenses to other Churches; where this was not done, then he labored at his business to acquire the means of travelling.
