“And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.”
When Silas and Timothy came from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself exclusively to preaching, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah — Timothy's and Silas's arrival brings financial support (implied by 2 Corinthians 11:9), enabling Paul to cease tentmaking. 'Devoted himself exclusively' (synechō, to be pressed or driven) suggests intensified proclamation.
