Second Missionary Journey
15:36-4;16-18
AD 49-51
Second journey of Paul started
from Syrian Antioch. This time, he was accompanied by Silas. Wishing to
revisit some of the cities he visited during the first missionary journey, he
went to Tarsus, Derbe, Lystra and some other cities of Galatia. Then Paul
wanted to go to the Asian province of the Roman Empire but he was prevented by
the Holly Sprit from going there. Then he wanted to go north to Bytinia Region
but this time, he was prevented by the spirit of Christ. Paul and companions
were guided towards Troas, a city in the south of Dardaneles, a popular
crossing point from Asia to Europa. When Paul arrived there, he had his famous
vision. In his dream, he had a man from Macedonia beseaching to come over to
Macedonia to help them. From the Acts of Apostles, we also understand that
Luke, the author of the Fourth Gospel and the writer of the Acts of Apostles
joined to Paul's Party. Paul and companions first went to island of Samothrace,
then arrived to Neapolis and Philippi where Paul met Lydia, a rich women from
the city of Thytira. In Philippi, Paul was disturbed by a mentally irritated
slave girl who had peculiar powers. She was healed by Paul and she and her
family were baptised by Paul who was arrested and put into a prison upon
complains of the owners of the girl. Paul's party continued their journey and
they passed Amphipolis, Apollonia, Thessalonica and arrived Athens where he
has bitter argument with the philosophers of the city. Going to further south
Paul arrived the city of Corint, one of the important cities of southern
Greece. After staying nearly 1 year, he travelled to Ephesus, the capital city
of Asia. He was accompanied by Aqilia and Prisqilla, close friends of Paul
from Corint. Paul first went to Synagogues of Ephesus and spoke with the
elders of the synagogues and argued with them Christian doctirines. He didn't
stay long time in Ephesus to keep the feast (passover) in Jerusalem. After
promising he would return to Ephesus, he left for the Holy lands.
After his journey from Ephesus,
Paul landed in Caeserea on the coastline of Palestine. Then he went up before
to Jerusalem and finally to Antioch.
