This map is quite helpful when looking into Paul’s second missionary journey. This journey would lead
him to Greece. Major stops in Greece would include Corinth and Athens. 196

It was in Athens that Paul was taken to the Areopagus and preached to the Council (Acts 17:16-33). It
was in Corinth that Paul changed his ministry focus to the Gentiles (Acts 18:6). After his return to
Jerusalem, Paul went back to Antioch of Syria. Antioch would serve as his base for the third missionary
journey.

Paul’s third missionary journey took him back to Greece. He went up through Cilicia, Galatia, Phrygia,
Asia Minor, then sailed to Macedonia, went to Athens in Greece, and then Corinth. After Corinth, he
then traveled back through Macedonia, travels to Ephesus, and then back to Jerusalem. The trip can be
seen clearly in the following illustration from the Holman Bible Atlas. 197
