Context of Acts 20:4

2He visited many places in that region. He spoke to the believers in each place. He helped them to be strong. After that, he arrived in Greece. 3Paul stayed in Greece for three months. One day, he was preparing to travel to Syria by ship. But then he heard news that some Jews wanted to kill him on the journey. So he decided to travel through Macedonia and return to Jerusalem. These are the men who went with Paul: Sopater, the son of Pyrrhus, from Berea; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus from Asia region. 5These men had all left by ship before we did. When they arrived in Troas, they waited for us there. 6As for us, we sailed by ship from Philippi, after the festival when the Jews eat flat bread. After five days we arrived in Troas. We met the other men there and we all stayed there for seven days.
