How many missionary journey's did the apostle Paul make?
3
What is the historical background of Paul's missionary journeys?
The three missionary journeys attributed to Paul are a convenient classification developed by students of Acts, whereas Paul's own epistles make no direct mention of them.In fact, his undisputed letters gives us no information about the first missionary journey, instead leading us on a quite different itinerary. He never even mentions the miracle in which Acts says he blinded Elymas the sorcerer and thereby converted Sergius Paulus, the deputy of the country, although he can be expected to have done so if this miracle really occurred.It may be somewhat possible to harmonise the second missionary journey with Paul's own account, but the third missionary journey (Acts l8:23-21:15) has been called into doubt by some scholars. For example Juirgen Becker denies any retum to Palestine or Syria but allows a possible visit to Galatia and Phrygia, reflecting the second visit hinted at in Gal 4:13.Scholars have long puzzled over the differences between Acts and Paul's epistles, with most accepting Paul whenever he differs from Acts. The background to the three missionary journeys must be found in Acts, and in the theological purpose of its author, rather than in history.
How long did Paul stay in Samothrace during his second missionary journey?
The scripture doesn't make clear whether Paul actually went ashore on the island of Samothrace, but the ship was apparently only in the area one day before heading to Neapolis.(Acts 16:11). It is said that, even today, the present-day island of Samothraki offers places to safely anchor a large ship, while not having a particularly good harbor for disembarking.

What was pauls name before his conversion?
A:Mentioned only in Acts of the Apostles, Saul is the name of the apostle Paul before his conversion and his first missionary journey. Tarsus is also given in Acts as the home town of Saul. In his own epistles, Paul never mentions having been called Saul, or having come from the city of Tarsus. In spite of this, it is certainly possible that he had been called Saul and that he was from Tarsus. However, we can never be certain whether the author of Acts of the Apostles, writing several decades after the death of Paul, was mistaken in those attributions. Some of the key passages regarding Saul in Acts of the Apostles have parallels to a Saulus whom Josephus mentions in Antiquities of the Jews, a book with which the author of Acts is known to have been familiar. Josephus even talked of a riot in Jerusalem, led by Saulus after the stoning of James. Although this Saulus could have inspired the author of Acts, he could not really have been the same person as Paul.

Was Paul a tent maker?
Paul the apostles was indeed a tentmaker. He practiced this trade while on his missionary journeys in the Near East and Europe.

Suggest your reading about the 'tallith' or 'little tent' in the Hebrew and Paul would of certainly know how to make as all Jewish men wore (see Numbers 15:37-41 and Jesus' following these customs in Luke 8:43-48 that the woman touched).
