A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 20:14

"And when he met us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene." — Acts 20:14 (ASV)

Met us (συνεβαλλεν ημιν). Imperfect active where the aorist (συνεβαλεν, as C D have it) would seem more natural. It may mean that as soon as (ως) Paul "came near or began to meet us" (inchoative imperfect), we picked him up. Luke alone in the N.T. uses συνβαλλω to bring or come together either in a friendly sense as here or as enemies (Luke 14:31).

To Mitylene (εις Μιτυληνην). The capital of Lesbos about thirty miles from Assos, an easy day's sailing.
