The Acts of the Apostles - Part 3

Read chapter 21 and then answer the questions.

In this chapter, the end of the third missionary journey of the Apostle Paul is described.

We provide a brief overview of all three journeys:

• The first missionary journey, from about 46 – 49, was carried out by Paul and Barnabas (Acts 13:1-14:28). The journey went from Antioch to Cyprus, then to Antioch in Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe, and back through the same places. From Antioch, Paul and Barnabas visited the church assembly in Jerusalem.
• The second missionary journey, from 51 – 54, was undertaken by Paul along with Silas and Timothy (Acts 15:35-18:22). He traveled from Antioch to Syria, Cilicia, Derbe, Lystra, Phrygia, Galatia, and Troas. In Troas, Luke, the author of the Acts of The Apostles, joined them. They crossed over to Europe, and Paul successively visited Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, and Corinth, where he stayed for a year and a half. From Corinth, he returned to Ephesus and then back to Antioch.
• The third missionary journey, from about 54 - 58, begins again in Antioch but ends in Jerusalem (Acts 18:23-21:16). From Antioch, Paul travels to Galatia and Phrygia. Then he comes to Ephesus, where he stays for three years. From Ephesus, he moves on to Macedonia and Illyricum. During the winter, he stays in Corinth. The return journey goes from Corinth via Macedonia (Philippi), Troas, Tyre, and Caesarea. Upon arriving in Jerusalem, he is soon arrested.

From Miletus, the journey continues across the sea to Tyre, where the ship was unloaded. During the seven-day stay in Tyre, the believers warn Paul through the Holy Spirit, not to go to Jerusalem.

The farewell from Tyre took place on the beach, they kneeled down and prayed, then Paul and his companions embarked on the ship and arrived at Ptolemais. They stayed there for a day with the brothers and continued on to Caesarea.

Who is welcoming them in Caesarea?

It is said that his four daughters prophesied.

Where would they have not done this (1 Cor 14:34)?
