A:Paul himself makes no mention of ever having visited Cyprus, but Acts of the Apostles, written several decades after the death of Paul, says that he visited Cyprus on his very first missionary trip. The problem that many scholars have with this account is that the itinerary of the first missionary journey of Acts seems to contradict Paul's account of his own travels, and Hans Joachim Schoeps says that Acts has been "believed much too readily." John Dominic Crossan says that Paul must have become a Christian in the early thirties, so the first missionary journey to Cyprus would have to have been not much later.
