Why did Paul go to Jerusalem at the end of his Third Missionary Journey and why he was arrested in Jerusalem?

We know from Paul's own epistles that he was collecting for the poor in Jerusalem, although perhaps much earlier in his missionary career. The author of Acts, for this to appear to be a historical chronology, it was necessary for Paul to take the collection to Jerusalem, as promised. In Acts, this became the first and most apparent reason for his return to Jerusalem.
Since Paul's epistles tell of Paul having been arrested and held in prison, another reason for his journey to Jerusalem was to provide the opportunity for him to be arrested. He went to the Temple, where he was seem and recognised as the man who took uncircumcised converts into the Temple. The mob seized Paul and handed him over to the authorities, who arrested Paul for this.

Where was the first place that Paul started a church?
AnswerIn his Epistle to the Galatians, Paul seems quite clear about his main travels for his first seventeen to twenty years as a missionary. He said that after his conversion, he travelled first to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. At some stage after the last visit to Jerusalem, he appears to have visited Antioch with Peter. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, and he spent14 years in Syria and Cilicia. He went to probably to Thessalonia, certainly to Corinth and, and later to Rome.On the other hand, Acts of the Apostles says that Paul went first to Damascus and Jerusalem. After some short trips in Palestine, he began his "first missionary journey" to Antioc, Seleucia, Cyprus, South Galatia and back to Antoch and Jerusalem. Acts says that he then went on his second missionary journey to Syria and Cilicia, South Galatia, Phrygia and North Galatia, Mysia and Tross, Phillipi, Amphipolis, Apolonia, Thessalonica, Beroea, Athens and Corinth. Acts says that his third mission was to North Galatia and Phrygia, Ephesus, Macedonia, Achaia, Macedonia, Philippi, Troas, Miletus, Tyre, Ptolemais, Caesaria and back to Jerusalem. He later went to Rome.The three journeys of Acts are only a convenient classification developed by students of Acts. In his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey. This itinerary for the third missionary journey has also been called into doubt by some scholars. Only the second missionary journey seems to approximate Paul's own travel itinerary. Many scholars would rely on Paul's account in preference to Acts of the Apostles.

Paul met Timothy, who was to become an important part in establishing the church and assisting Paul in his ministry. He also met Lydia, the jailer at Philippi, the Bereans, Dionysius and Damaris in Athens, Priscilla and Aquila at Corinth, Crispus, and Apollos to name but a few.
