AnswerRaymond E. Brown ('An Introduction to the New Testament') points out that in his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey, as if it neever happened. The itinerary has been called into doubt by some scholars, while others say there was no first missionary journey as described in Acts of the Apostles. It may be futile to hypothesise how long a journey may have taken, if we can not even be sure that it took place at all.

What five cities did Paul preach at some time?

Paul started his first missionary journey from Antioch. He departed from Seleucia to the island of Cyprus, traveling through Salamis on the eastern end to Paphos on the western end. Traveling from there, Paul and his companions went north into central Asia Minor to the region of Galatia. The cities that Paul visited there were Perga, Antioch (Pisidia), Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and Attalia.

What were the major events that was recorded on Paul's first missionary journey?

In Cyprus, the Roman governor became a convert. In Pisidian Antioch, Paul and Barnabas were driven out of the city by unbelieving Jews. In Iconium, they performed miraculous signs and wonders and a large number of people believed. But again, a coalition of Gentiles and Jews drove them out of the city. In Lystra, Paul healed a cripple and the crowds thought he was a god. Later, they stoned him and left him for dead. It is possible that Timothy witnessed the stoning (2 Timothy 3:11). In Derbe, they made many disciples. The Council of Jerusalem covers all of chapter 15 ending his first missionary journey.


Where did Paul travel?

Paul was known to travel far and wide during his lifetime. He was actually born of an affluent family and traveled as a young man to learn under the tutelage of one Gamaliel on the Sanhedran. For this answer I will assume the question asks of the missionary trips Paul had undertaken during his 3 travels as mentioned in the New Testament. Paul actually began his journey at Antioch. It was here he was thought to have studied and prepared with Barnabus (41 - 44 A.D.). It was even here that the first believers were called Christians (or "those of Christ"). The first journey began with a sailing to Selucia and Cyprus (meeting Bar-Jesus). Next they travelled to Perga, Pamphylia (Mark returns to Jerusalem). Next was Antioch, Psidia (The first Gentile outreach). Iconium (where they lived for a few years), Lystra (where Paul was stoned), and Derbe (where they won many disciples) followed. From there Paul actually turns around and revisits followers in Lystra, Iconium, and Psidia. Pamphylia, Attalia, and Perga were also visited before Paul and Barnabus returned to Antioch, Syria. The second journey began with Paul and Silus going throughout Syria and Cilicia. They revisit the churches in Lystra and Derbe, find Timothy and head out again. Together they go to Phyrgia and Galatia. They detoured to Macedonia then on to Philippi. From Philippi they passed through Appolonia to Thessolonici. They also served in Berea, Achaia, and Athens. Paul actually settles down in Corinth for a year and a half. From Corinth he sailed to Ephesus. Paul finally sails to Ceasarea and returns home to Antioch. The third journey begins in Galatia then to Phyrgia. He moved back to Ephesus where he stayed three years. After this he went to Macedonia via Troas. From Macedonia Paul visits Corinth. After Corinth Paul returns to Macedonia at Philippi. Paul continues to sail around until the end of his third journey where he travels to Jerusalem and is brought before the Sanhedrin. There he was sentenced to imprisonment. He is shipped to Rome, being a Roman citizen, and remains in house arrest for 2 years. After this he had been said to travel more until his death at exocution many years later.


What was the route of pauls second journey?

A:Paul, in his own epistles, tells us nothing about the "first missionary journey", giving a quite different itinerary. Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that the three journeys are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts of the Apostles. Acts makes this journey an apprenticeship for Paul, under the guidance of Barnabas, whereas Paul himself says that he received the gospel from no man, and suggests that Barnabas was always his assistant. In this account it is also the occasion for an unethical miracle performed by Paul, who blinded bar-Jesus to prevent him influencing the Roman governor of Cyprus. This at least proves that Paul was able to perform miracles at will.


Who are the ministers of the churches Apostle Paul started?

Paul did not start any "churches" as such. He visited different cities and established groups that examined the Hebrew scriptures and applied the teachings of Jesus. A few of the cities were Colossi, Ephesus, Galatia, Antioch, Tarsus, Derbe, Lystra, Phillipi.

What does Galatians mean?

Galatians refers to the New Testament book covering the epistle to Galatians from Saint Paul.ANOTHER ANSWER:"Galatians" gets its name from the general region and grouping of cities among which Paul preached and planted God's church. "Halley's Bible Handbook" says this:"...GalatiaIn Central Asia Minor (see Map page 572). Region of Paul's First Missionary Journey. Its borders at times varied. It included the cities of Iconium, Lystra, Derbe, and probably Pisidian Antioch.
