in them, did he revisit? What was one of his important
errands on this journey? Who accompanied Paul on his

this journey? Name the place from which each of these
epistles was written. State the approximate date of

letter? Name some of the places where Paul stopped on
his return journey. What took place at Troas? What
took place at Miletus? Whom did Paul meet at Cæsarea?
What was Paul's destination? What was his purpose in
visiting the mother church? What happened to Paul at
Jerusalem? To what place was he afterwards taken? How

PART THREE
IV. =Paul's Fourth Journey= (Acts 27 and 28). Although made by a
prisoner, some of the time wearing a chain (Acts 26. 29; 28. 20), the
journey to Rome was a missionary journey, in many respects like Paul's
other journeys. To visit Rome had long been his desire and expectation
(Acts 19. 21. Rom. 1. 15. Rom. 15. 23, 24). His companions on the
journey, Luke, Aristarchus (Acts 27. 1, 2), and probably Timothy.
1. On the voyage he was able to bring the _gospel to the island of
Malta_ (Acts 28. 7-10).
2. Arriving at _Rome_ (Acts 28. 16) he took up his work as nearly as
possible according to his _regular method_. 1.) He found a _home_ and
_employment_ (Acts 28. 16). 2.) As he could not go to the synagogue he
_sent for the chief Jews_ and preached the gospel to them (Acts 28.
17-24). 3.) He then turned to the Gentiles (Acts 28. 28-31). 4.) Some
_results_ of his ministry in Rome (Phil 1. 12-18).
3. _The Epistles of Paul's Imprisonment at Rome._ The order of these is
uncertain, but they belong rather to the close of the period than to its
opening.
1.) _Ephesians_; called by S. T. Coleridge "the
divinest composition of man;" written A. D. 62; its
subject, "The mystical union of Christ and his
church."
2.) _Philippians_; the most affectionate of all Paul's
letters; written A. D. 62; its subject "The character
of Christ's followers."
3.) _Colossians_; written to a church that Paul had
never seen; about A. D. 62; subject, "Christ the Head
of the Church."
4.) _Philemon_: a personal letter to a friend at
Colossæ concerning a _runaway slave_ Onesimus, whom
Paul sent back, "no longer a slave, but a brother
beloved."
V. =Paul's Later Years.= The record is uncertain, and almost unknown. It
is probable, though not certain, that Paul was set free about 63 A. D.
