“And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.”
where he stayed three months — Because some Jews had plotted against him just as he was about to sail for Syria, he decided to go back through Macedonia — Jewish opposition resurfaces; the conspiracy (epiboulē, plot or ambush) against Paul forces route modification. Flight through Macedonia avoids the Syrian-bound sea route's danger.
