Contextual Overview

⁵I will visit you after I go through Macedonia, for I am only passing through Macedonia; ⁶but it may be that I will stay with you [for a while], or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way to wherever I may go afterward. ⁷For I do not wish to see you right now just in passing, but I hope to remain with you for some time [later on], if the Lord permits. ⁸But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost,⁹because a wide door for effective service has opened to me [in Ephesus, a very promising opportunity], and there are many adversaries.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But I will tarry at Ephesus till Pentecost. The feast of weeks, or of harvest, which was fifty days from the passover;

:- which though abrogated at the death of Christ, was observed by the Jews, and is mentioned by the apostle, not as a festival that the Christians were obliged to regard, or did regard, but as pointing out the time he intended to stay at Ephesus: and we elsewhere read, that he was greatly desirous of being at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, Acts 20:16 not to keep it, but because there would then be abundance of people from all parts there, to whom he should have an opportunity of preaching the Gospel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But I will tarry at Ephesus - This passage proves that this letter was written from Ephesus. It is by such indications as this usually that we are able to determine the place where the Epistles were written. In regard to the situation of Ephesus, see the note on Acts 18:19.

Until Pentecost - This was a Jewish festival occurring fifty days after the Passover, and hence called the Pentecost. See the note at Acts 2:1. As there were Jews at Corinth, and doubtless in the church, they would understand the time which Paul referred to; and as he was a Jew, he naturally used their mode of reckoning time where it would be understood. Doubtless the great festivals of the Jews were well known among most of the cities of Greece, as there were Jews in them all who were scrupulous in their observances. It is no improbable supposition, also, that Christians everywhere regarded this day with deep interest, as being the day on which the Holy Spirit descended on the apostles and on the people of Jerusalem, Acts 2:0.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Corinthians 16:8. I will tarry at Ephesus — And it is very probable that he did so; and that all these journeys were taken as he himself had projected. See note on 1 Corinthians 16:5.
