Taking advantage of the Roman roads and shipping lanes, Paul traveled through what is today known as Greece and Turkey preaching the Gospel, establishing churches, and exhorting believers. In the coastal city of Troas, Paul poured himself into preaching the word, so much so, that Luke emphasizes this four times: encouraged them with many words … continued his message until midnight… Paul continued speaking … talked a long while, even till daybreak. At one point, a young man, overcome with sleep while listening while sitting in a window, fell three stories to his death. Paul revived him, then resumed preaching.
