After The Uproar, Paul Departs For Jerusalem Through Macedonia And Greece
20 And after the uproar ceased, Paul— having sent for the disciples and having encouraged them, having said-farewell— went forth to proceed[a] to Macedonia. 2 And having gone[b] through those regions, and having encouraged them with much speaking, he came to Greece[c]. 3 And having done three[d] months there, a plot having been made against him by the Jews while he was about to put-to-sea for Syria— he became of a mind that he should be returning through Macedonia[e].
