20:1-3
Paul now embarks on further journeys. The details of his journeys such as routes and times are consistent with information given in other ancient sources. He travelled through regions he had visited before, encouraging the believers. He stayed in Corinth for three months and it is believed that that is when he wrote Romans. As always, there were Jews opposing him, and on hearing of one plot he chose to change his travel plans, going to Philippi by land and sailing from there.
20:4-6
Paul travelled with a group of companions, this being much safer. Also he probably had money with him that had been collected from various churches for the church in Jerusalem. Paul may originally have aimed to get to Jerusalem for Passover, but would now arrive in time for Pentecost.
