Apostlenes gjerninger 20,3

MacedoniaSyria

1 Etter at opprøret hadde lagt seg, kalte Paulus disiplene til seg, og etter å ha oppmuntret dem, tok han farvel og dro til Makedonia.

2 Han reiste gjennom de områdene, og ga mye oppmuntring til folket, og kom til slutt til Hellas.

Han ble der i tre måneder. Men da det ble lagt en plan mot ham av jødene mens han skulle seile til Syria, bestemte han seg for å reise tilbake gjennom Makedonia.

4 Han reiste sammen med Sopater, sønn av Pyrrhus fra Berøa, Aristarkus og Sekundus fra Tessalonika, Gaius fra Derbe, Timoteus, sammen med Tykikus og Trofimus fra provinsen Asia.

5 Disse mennene dro i forveien og ventet på oss i Troas.
