The dating of Paul's movements in Acts (and Galatians) has some strong anchor points, but also involves some speculation. Here is one interpretation, which accommodates all the known information:

  • Pentecost - AD 30 - Acts 2
  • Paul converted - AD 34 - Acts 9:1-19 / Gal. 1:13-17
  • Paul meets Peter and James in Jerusalem - AD 36 - Acts 9:26-30 / Gal. 1:18-20
  • Paul meets James, Peter and John in Jerusalem - AD 47 - Acts 11:29-30, 12:25 / Gal. 2:1-10.
  • Paul's first missionary journey - AD 48 - Acts 13-14 / Gal. 4:12-16
  • Council of Jerusalem - AD 49 - Acts 15:1-35
  • Start of Paul's second missionary journey - AD 50 - Acts 16-17.

Our final anchor point is the presence of proconsul Gallio in the province of Achaia, which substantially confirms the date of Paul's second missionary journey. This is because Paul was in Corinth for eighteen months, and his time there partially overlapped with that of the proconsul, Gallio (Acts 18:12-17), with Gallio proconsular office being dated to 51-52.

So, in answer to your question, 15 years.
