Troas

For more information on Troas, visit Britannica.com.

An important port in the northwestern region of the Roman province of Asia. It was in Troas on his second missionary journey that Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia who beseeched him, saying "Come over into Macedonia, and help us". Paul immediately left Troas and traveled to Macedonia (Acts 16:8-10).

On his way back from Greece, on his third missionary journey, Paul stayed for a week in Troas. During his teaching there, a young man named Eutychus dozed off, and fell from the third story; he was assumed dead but Paul revived him (Acts 20:9). From Troas Paul went by land to Assos, where he joined his companions sailing for Palestine (20:13).
