Now after these things were finished, Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying,“ After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I decide, do I decide according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?
After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and when he had encouraged them and taken his leave of them, he left to go to Macedonia.When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece.And there he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.
