While Paul thought about this, he sent Timothy and Erastus to Macedonia but he remained in Asia for a while. (ACT 19:22) He likely was in Lydia where he seemed to have preached the gospel to the cities which were near Ephesus for nine months. He spent two years teaching in the school of Tyrannus and three months teaching in the synagogue of Ephesus. Therefore he spent three years labouring in Asia. (ACT 20:15-31) He said a great door was opened for him although there were many adversaries. (1CO 16:9)
