When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and went on to Mitylene. Acts 20:14
City: "The chief city of the island of Lesbos, the largest of the Aegean islands located near the
shore of Asia Minor (modern Turkey)...It was common for ships to overnight in convenient harbors and set
sail early in the morning to take advantage of the favorable morning winds. The city is built upon an
extension of land that was origianlly a small island, but which later was connected to the larger island
by a causeway. The city, therefore had two excellent harbors, one on either side of this promontory."
(Freedman:Volume 4:879-80)
Summary: Paul met the rest of his companions who had come from Assos on the ship, and boarded
with them.
