Commentators explain that this brief verse summarizes a period of intense activity. By cross-referencing with Paul's letters (like 2 Corinthians and Romans), we learn that during this time he dealt with church issues in Corinth, met with Titus, wrote 2 Corinthians, and even preached as far as Illyricum. This shows how Acts and the Epistles together provide a richer picture of the early church.
