Study note
Setting — The narrator records Paul's movements immediately following his departure from Athens, prior to his arrival in Corinth.
The words — χωρισθεὶς (chōristheis) literally means "having departed," marking a deliberate transition from the previous location. Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα (meta de tauta) translates to "after these things," functioning as a narrative marker for the sequence of events.
The thread — The text places Corinth as the immediate destination after Athens, which aligns with the church addressed in 1 Corinthians 1:2 and the later mention of Paul's movement to Ephesus in Acts 19:1.
Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to track the sequential geography of the journey without assuming future visits or extended stays in the cities mentioned.
