Context of Acts 20:4

2When he had passed through these parts and given them a great word of encouragement, he came to Greece, 3where he spent three months. When a plot was formed against him by the Jewish leaders as he was about to sail to Syria, he decided to return via Macedonia. Sopater of Berea, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; as well as Aristarchus and Secundus of Thessalonica; Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia. 5These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas. 6But we sailed from Philippi after the Days of Matzah. In five days we came to them in Troas, where we stayed for seven days.
