Acts 17:15
And
they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment
unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.

1. “And they that conducted Paul brought him to Athens…”
a. It is about 280 miles from Berea to Athens
and The amount of time it took depends the speed you could get and if you
anchored at night or sailed all night. The amounts of time vary depending on
the details. If I achieve an average of 6 knots (6 nautical miles and hour),
and sailed for 12 hours I could get 72 miles in 12 hours. If I sailed straight
through we could get from Berea to Athens in about two days, if I could average
6 knots the whole trip. If we anchored at night it would lengthen the trip by
two days. I’m guessing it took about 4 days to get from Berea to Athens.
2.
“…and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with
all speed, they departed.”
a. When the people who brought Paul to Athens, Paul them explicit orders for them to tell Silas and Timothy to come to him at Athens as quickly as they could.
