Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
To Troas (eiv thn Trwada). Luke does not mention this stop at Troas on the way from Ephesus to Macedonia (Acts 20:1 f.), though he does mention two other visits there (Acts 16:8; Acts 20:6).
When a door was opened unto me (qurav moi anewgmenhv). Genitive absolute with second perfect passive participle of anoignumi. Paul used this very metaphor in I Corinthians 16:9. He will use it again in Colossians 4:3. Here was an open door that he could not enter.
