Acts 19:22 He himself stayed in Asia for a while [αυτος επεσχεν χρονον εις την Ασιαν]
Literally, He himself had additional time in Asia. Second aorist active indicative of επεχω — epechō old and common idiom, only here in the N.T. in this sense and the verb only in Luke and Paul. The reason for Paul‘s delay is given by him in 1 Corinthians 16:8., the great door wide open in Ephesus. Here again Luke and Paul supplement each other. Pentecost came towards the end of May and May was the month of the festival of Artemis (Diana) when great multitudes would come to Ephesus. But he did not remain till Pentecost as both Luke and Paul make plain. [source]

Present active imperative of old verb επεχω — epechō to hold upon (Philemon 2:1, Philemon 2:16), but here τον νουν — ton noun (the mind) must be supplied as in Acts 3:5 and as is common with προσεχω — prosechō With dative case σεαυτωι — seautōi “Keep on paying attention to thyself.” Some young preachers are careless about their health and habits. Some are too finical. [source]
