Hechos 20:3 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:3

And there abode three months
In Greece:

and when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into
Syria;
from some part of Greece, in order to go to Jerusalem; which the Jews in the parts of Greece understanding, laid wait for him, either by sea or land, with an intention either to take the money from him, which he had collected in Macedonia, and in Greece, for the poor saints at Jerusalem, or to take away his life, or both; of which lying in wait for him, the apostle had some notice, either by divine revelation, or from somebody who was in the secret, or had got knowledge of it from such as were: upon which he

purposed to return through Macedonia;
through which he came from Ephesus to Greece: this wicked design being made known to him, obliged him, in point of prudence, and both for his own safety, and the good of the churches, to alter his scheme, and steer his course another way, to the disappointment of his enemies; in which the wisdom of providence, the care of God over his ministers, and his concern for his churches manifestly appeared.

Hechos 20:3 In-Context

1 Después que cesó el alboroto, Pablo mandó llamar a los discípulos, y habiéndolos exhortado, despidiéndose, partió para ir a Macedonia.

2 Y después de recorrer aquellas regiones y de haberlos exhortado mucho, llegó a Grecia.

3 Pasó allí tres meses, y habiéndose tramado una conjura en su contra de parte de los judíos cuando estaba por embarcarse para Siria, tomó la decisión de regresar por Macedonia.

4 Y lo acompañaban Sópater de Berea, hijo de Pirro; Aristarco y Segundo de los tesalonicenses; Gayo de Derbe, y Timoteo; Tíquico y Trófimo de Asia.

5 Pero éstos se habían adelantado y nos esperaban en Troas.
