Paul now leaves to travel to Macedonia. He spent three months there, and hearing that there was a plot against him, he changed course to go through Macedonia instead of Syria. It was here where he raised the young man from the dead who fell three stories during Paul's teaching. He called the Elders of Ephesus to him and he encouraged them to be strong in the faith, also telling them they may never see him again.
