020:002 Passing through those districts he encouraged the disciples in frequent addresses, and then came into Greece, and spent three months there. 020:003 The Jews having planned to waylay him whenever he might be on the point of taking ship for Syria, he decided to travel back by way of Macedonia. 020:004 He was accompanied as far as the province of Asia by Sopater the Beroean, the son of Pyrrhus; by the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; by Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and by the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus. 020:005 These brethren had gone on and were waiting for us in the Troad. 020:006 But we ourselves sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and five days later joined them in the Troad, where we remained for a week. 020:007 On the first day of the week, when we had met to break bread, Paul, who was going away the next morning, was preaching to them, and prolonged his discourse till midnight. 020:008 Now there were a good many lamps in the room upstairs where we all were, 020:009 and a youth of the name of Eutychus was sitting at the window.
