📚 Historical Context

In the book of Acts, Paul and his companions were on their second missionary journey, traveling through Asia Minor to spread the Gospel. The Holy Spirit had guided them to avoid preaching in certain areas, so they passed through Mysia without stopping. This journey led them to Troas, where Paul received a vision directing them to Macedonia.
