Bede : And he set out to go to Macedonia. After he had toured those parts and had exhorted them with many words, he came to Greece. Greece is a province of Achaia, which the Greeks call ἑλλάδα. Hence, where Latin Codices have Greeks or, to distinguish them from Jews, Gentiles, the Greek text writes ἕλληνας and ἑλληνιστὰς. So after Macedonia, Paul came to this place, because he intended, as said above, to pass from Macedonia and Achaia and to go to Jerusalem. — Commentary on Acts John Chrysostom : "And having embraced them," it says, "he departed for to go into Macedonia." By this again he refreshed them, giving them much consolation. There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece. — Homily on Acts 43
