The early church

"And having embraced them," it says, "he departed for to go into Macedonia." By this again he refreshed them, giving them much consolation. There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece.

Commentary

Matthew Henry · Verses 1–6

Tumults or opposition may constrain a Christian to remove from his station or alter his purpose, but his work and his pleasure will be the same, wherever he goes. Paul thought it worth while to bestow five days in going to Troas, though it was but for seven days' stay there; but he knew, and so should we, how to redeem even journeying time, and to make it turn to some good account.
