Acts 20:3

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.

Ministering at Troas

7 Now on ^athe first day of the week, when the disciples came together ^bto break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight.

<< Acts 20:2

Acts 20:3 The Jews laid wait for him. "A plot was laid against him by the Jews" (Revised Version). We have no further details, but it was, no doubt, a murderous plot. To prevent it, his plans were changed, and instead of sailing to Syria, he again took the route to Macedonia.
