Acts 20:1-6

¹The mob went home, then Paul asked all the Christians to meet together with him. He said to them, “Be strong for Jesus. Keep on believing in him. I’m going to Macedonia country now. Goodbye.” Then Paul got up and went to Macedonia country.

²He visited all the Christians in the towns in Macedonia, and he told them a lot of things to help them be strong for Jesus. Then he kept going and went to Achaia country. Another name for that country is Greece.

³Paul stayed in Greece for 3 months. Then he got ready to go back to Syria on a ship. But he heard that some Jews were going to try to kill him, so he changed his mind and didn’t go on that ship. Instead, he went by road through Macedonia country again.

⁴Paul had some friends that went with him, but they didn’t go with him by road. They got on to that ship and went to the town called Troas and waited there. Those men were, – Sopater. His father was called Pyrrhus. He grew up in the town called Berea. – Aristarchus and Secundus, 2 men from Thessalonica. – Gaius, from Derbe. – Timothy, from Galatia country. – Tychicus and Trophimus, 2 men from Asia country. These men waited for Paul in Troas.

⁶But as for me, Luke, I went with Paul by road to the town called Philippi, and we stayed there. Then the time came for the Jewish people to have their flat damper ceremony, and after that we got on a ship and kept sailing for 5 days. Then we came to the town called Troas, and we met the other men that were waiting for us there. We all stayed in Troas for 7 days.
