When the uproar was over, Paul sent for the believers and encouraged them. Then he said good-bye and left for Macedonia. While there, he encouraged the believers in all the town he passed through. Then he traveled down to Greece, where he stayed for three months. He was preparing to sail back to Styria when he discovered a plot by some Jews against his life, so he decided to return through Macedonia. (vv. 1-3, NLT)
