Acts 20:1-3 - When the uproar had ended, Paul sent for the disciples and, after encouraging them, said good-by and set out for Macedonia. He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people, and finally arrived in Greece, where he stayed three months. Because the Jews made a plot against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia.
What was the plot against Paul? Was it to kill him? Was it to imprison him? Was it to deport him? Was it supposed to be an ambush?
How many Jews were in on the plot? How did Paul, or his associates, find out about it? This has the feeling of a Tom Clancy novel about it. How did Paul's change of plans and direction foil the plot?
Obviously God had more work for Paul in Macedonia that was of a higher priority at the time than any work that might have been found in Syria just then.
