136 Paul's Third Missionary Trip

Paul’s Third Missionary Trip THIRD YEAR—SUBJECT 29 Paul’s Third Missionary Trip (READ ACTS 18 to 21)

We now find the church at Antioch sending Paul, with Timothy, on his third missionary trip. He goes first to Galatia and Phrygia; then to Ephesus, where he teaches and rebaptizes some of John’s converts who had been converted and baptized by Appollos, who, himself had been converted to the church by Aquila and Priscilla.

Paul remained at Ephesus for a long time teaching in the school of Tyran nus, wrote one letter to Galatia and one to Corinth while there. When he had aroused much prejudice he went to Greece, then to Philippi, then to Troas, then to Assos, then to Mitylene, then to Trogyllium and on to Miletus where he sent for the elders at Ephesus and gave them his farewell address. Then he went to Patura, Tyre, Ptolemais, Caesarea, and then to Jerusalem where the apostles and elders had him to purify himself. Here he was arrested, had many trials, which ends his active work as an evangelist. On this last trip we notice sixteen cities Paul had visited and preached in. Examine and learn what was done at each city.
