What lands in Asia are named with this lesson on the
map? What lands in Europe? What localities in
Palestine and Syria? Localities in Asia Minor?
Localities in Europe? Who were Paul's companions on
his second missionary journey? What places of his
earlier journey were revisited at this time? What new
places did he visit in Asia Minor? What event called
Paul to go to Europe? In what city in Europe did Paul
first preach the gospel? How was his work in that city
interrupted? What other places in Macedonia did he
visit? In which of these places did he find the people
"more noble"? What cities in Greece did he visit? In
which city did he stay for a long time, and for what
reason? What letters were written during this journey?
From what place was each written? What was the subject
or purpose of each epistle? What large city in Asia
Minor was the last one visited on this journey? At
what places did Paul stop on his return journey? Where
did his journey end? What was the great result of this
journey?
PART TWO
II. =Paul's Third Missionary Journey= (A. D. 54-58). His companions are
named in Acts 19. 22. The latter seems to have been a man of importance
from Corinth (Rom. 16. 23). We trace the journey, starting, as both the
former journeys, from Antioch:
1. _From Antioch to Ephesus_ (Acts 18. 23). He went through Galatia and
Phrygia, visiting churches already founded. Some think that this
indicates a fourth visit to Lycaonia and Pisidia, as those lands were
loosely regarded as belonging to Galatia; but this is not certain.
2. _Three years in Ephesus._ (Acts 19. 1-20.) In this metropolis of Asia
Minor Paul made a stay longer than in any other place during his
ministry. As results, churches arose in all that region: Colossæ (Col.
2. 2; 2. 1), Hierapolis (Col. 4. 13), and "the seven churches of Asia"
(Rev. 1. 11).
3. _Macedonia and Greece revisited._ We can tell what places he would
visit in this journey through former fields, although they are not
named--the four or five cities wherein he had already planted churches:
Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea (Athens?), Corinth. One of his errands on
this journey, not mentioned in Acts, is frequently referred to in the
epistles of this period, his _collection for the poor Christians in
Judea_. See Rom. 15. 26, 27. 1 Cor. 16. 1-3. 2 Cor. 9. 1-4. Probably the
care of these funds was one reason for the large number of disciples
accompanying Paul on his return journey (Acts 20. 4).
4. _Epistles of this Period._ These were the following:
1.) _First Corinthians_, written from Ephesus, perhaps
about 57 A. D. Its occasion (1 Cor. 1. 11, 12). Its
purpose, to set forth a true church-life.
2.) _Second Corinthians_ (57 A. D.), probably written
from Macedonia. (2 Cor. 7. 5; 8. 1); its purpose,
mainly a defense of Paul's apostolic authority.
