Journeys in Greece

1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul called the disciples to himself, embraced them, and adeparted to go to Macedonia.  
2 Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to aGreece  
3 and stayed three months. And awhen the Jews plotted against him as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.  
4 And Sopater of Berea accompanied him to Asia—also aAristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and bGaius of Derbe, and cTimothy, and dTychicus and eTrophimus of Asia.  
5 These men, going ahead, waited for us at aTroas.  
6 But we sailed away from Philippi after athe Days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days joined them bat Troas, where we stayed seven days.

Barnes' Notes
<< Acts 20:1   Acts 20:3 >>


Acts 20:2

Over those parts - The parts of country in and near Macedonia. He probably went to Macedonia by Troas, where he expected to find Titus II Corinthians 2:12; but, not finding him there, he went by himself to Philippi, Thessalonica, etc., and then returned to Greece proper.

Into Greece - Into Greece proper, of which Athens was the capital. While in Macedonia he had great anxiety and trouble, but was at length comforted by the coming of Titus, who brought him intelligence of the liberal disposition of the churches of Greece in regard to the collection for the poor saints at Jerusalem, II Corinthians 7:5-7. It is probable that the Second Epistle to the Corinthians was written during this time in Macedonia, and sent to them by Titus.
