‏ Acts 19:21

After these things were ended. What has just been recorded.

Paul purposed in the spirit. Had determined, after a journey into Macedonia and Greece, to visit the churches planted in his former tour, to return to Jerusalem, and then to "see Rome" (see Ro 1:13). This was all carried out, but in a way that at this time he did not foresee.

‏ Acts 20:3

The Jews laid wait for him. "A plot was laid against him by the Jews" (Revised Version). We have no further details, but it was, no doubt, a murderous plot. To prevent it, his plans were changed, and instead of sailing to Syria, he again took the route to Macedonia.
