And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto[ him] the disciples, and embraced[ them], and departed for to go into Macedonia.And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,And[ there] abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
