Hechos 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 20:2

And when he had gone over those parts
Of Macedonia, and the cities in it before mentioned;

and had given them much exhortation;
to abide by the doctrines and ordinances of the Gospel, and to walk worthy of it in their lives and conversations; and this exhortation he was frequently giving, as often as he had opportunity, improving his time much this way, and continued long at it: and, having pursued it to a sufficient length,

he came into Greece;
or Hellas; which, according to Ptolomy ^F5 and Solinus, ^F6, is properly true Greece; the former makes it to be the same with Achaia, where Corinth was; and the latter says it was in his time called Attica, where Athens was; so Pliny ^F7, who also says, that Thessaly was so called: this Hellas included Macedonia, Epirus, Thessaly, Achaia, which is properly Greece, Peloponnesus, and the adjacent islands.

Hechos 20:2 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.
