## I do not wish to see you now ## Paul is stating that he does not want to come for just a short visit now but for a longer period of time later. ## Pentecost ## Paul would stay in Ephesus until this festival (May or June), later travel through Macedonia, and later try to arrive in Corinth before winter started in November. ## a wide door has opened ## This means that the Lord had given him a good opportunity to win people to the gospel.
