Acts20:16

16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: For he hasted , if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

Which was not so far from Miletus; but lest he should hinder his Journey, he would not go thither. Or

as Chap. 18.21. If the Lord would: for his endeavour should not be wanting.

Not that he placed any Religion in the observing this Feast, which was abrogated and done away by being fulfilled, Chap. 2. but because of the vast concourse of people at all those solemn Feasts, when his opportunities to magnifie Christ and his Truths, might be the greater.
