Acts 20:1-6

Paul in Macedonia and Greece

1 When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples. And after encouraging them, he said goodbye to them and left for Macedonia.

2 After traveling through that area and speaking many words of encouragement, he arrived in Greece,

3 where he stayed three months. And when the Jews formed a plot against him as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.

4 Paul was accompanied by Sopater son of Pyrrhus from Berea, Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica, Gaius from Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia. ^[a]

5 These men went on ahead and waited for us in Troas.

6 And after the Feast of Unleavened Bread, ^[b] we sailed from Philippi, and five days later we rejoined them in Troas, where we stayed seven days.
