1After the commotion ceased, Paul summoned the disciples and, having encouraged them and paid his respects, departed to go to Macedonia.2After he had passed through those regions and had encouraged them with many a word, he came to Greece.3He spent three months there. When a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.4Sopater son of Pyrrhus, a Berean, accompanied him, as did Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus.5These men came to us and stayed with us in Troas.6We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread and reached them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
