Acts 20:3 in Context — Acts 20
1 Lorsque le tumulte eut cessé, Paul réunit les disciples, et, après les avoir exhortés, prit congé d’eux, et partit pour aller en Macédoine.
2 Il parcourut cette contrée, en adressant aux disciples de nombreuses exhortations.
3 Puis il se rendit en Grèce, où il séjourna trois mois. Il était sur le point de s’embarquer pour la Syrie, quand les Juifs lui dressèrent des embûches. Alors il se décida à reprendre la route de la Macédoine.
4 Il avait pour l’accompagner jusqu’en Asie: Sopater de Bérée, fils de Pyrrhus, Aristarque et Second de Thessalonique, Gaïus de Derbe, Timothée, ainsi que Tychique et Trophime, originaires d’Asie.
5 Ceux-ci prirent les devants, et nous attendirent à Troas.
