<p>20:2 <i>And w<em>hen he had gone through those regions</em></i>- This implies a prepared pastoral itinerary, just as Peter did in Acts 9:32.</p><p><i>And had given them much encouragement, he came into Greece</i>- Gk. many words <em>logos</em>. The same phrase is used of how Judas and Silas gave 'many words' of prophetic encouragement, i.e. the gift of prophecy gave them words to say (15:32). And so here too, probably the Spirit gave Paul the words needed for each of the groups he visited.</p>
