Exegesis
The phrase achri hēmerōn pente {ἄχρι ἡμερῶν πέντε | á-chri hē-me-rôn pén-te} functions as a temporal expression of extent, literally “until five days,” which is best rendered idiomatically as “in five days” in English to convey duration rather than a terminal point.
In context — Acts 20:6
But we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread , and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
