Roman colony and major port city on the northwestern coast of Asia Minor (Mysia), facing the Aegean (Acts 16:8-12; 20:5-12; 2 Corinthians 2:12-13; 2 Timothy 4:13). Two major Pauline narratives are set at Troas. (1) The Macedonian Call: on the second missionary journey, Paul and Silas had been forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, then forbidden by the Spirit of Jesus to go into Bithynia; they passed by Mysia and came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them (Acts 16:9-10). The Macedonian Call at Troas opens the gospel's deliberate movement into Europe and the founding of the Philippian, Thessalonian, Berean, Athenian, and Corinthian churches. (2) The raising of Eutychus: on Paul's return from Macedonia to Jerusalem at the end of the third missionary journey, the company stayed seven days at Troas; on the first day of the week the disciples gathered to break bread; Paul preached until midnight; a young man named Eutychus, sitting in a third-story window, fell asleep, fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead; Paul went down, embraced him, and the young man's life was restored; they continued breaking bread and Paul preached till daybreak (Acts 20:7-12). Paul also mentions Troas in 2 Corinthians 2:12-13 (his anxiety about Titus's mission to Corinth) and in 2 Timothy 4:13 (the cloak left at Troas with Carpus, and the books and parchments). The patriarchal-Reformed reader receives Troas as the threshold-of-Europe and the site of the substantive resurrection-miracle at the all-night Lord's-Day worship.
