and Barnabas were called gods, but
again the Jews from other cities incited
the crowd to stone Paul and dragged
him outside the city. Paul rose up and
went on to Derbe where many
believed. At the end of the journey,
Paul and Barnabas traveled back to
each city to appoint elders in every
church and to strengthen the believers.
They finally traveled back to Antioch of
Syria to report what wonderful things
God had done and share about the
hundreds of people who came to
Christ.

Paul’s Second Missionary Journey –
51 AD to 54 AD
Paul had a talk with Barnabas, and they
decided to revisit the brethren in every
city they traveled on the first journey,
however, they had a sharp division. Barnabas wanted to again take John Mark with them, but Paul,
because John Mark had previously abandoned them, refused. They decided to go their separate ways,
and Paul took Silas with him and Barnabas took John Mark and sailed to Cyprus.

The second journey traces the footsteps of Paul and Silas toward Cilicia. They returned to Derbe and
Lystra where they met Timothy. They continued through the region of Phrygia and Galatia sharing the
Gospel in the synagogues and among the Gentiles. Paul then had a vision of a man of Macedonia
standing and
beseeching him to
come over to help The Temple of Hephaestus (right) located in the

over from Troas to craftsmanship, and fire.
Neapolis, then on
to Philippi where
they met Lydia,
seller of purple.
Many of the
women believed
and Paul and Silas
stayed at her
house. It was in
Philippi that Paul
and Silas were
beaten and
imprisoned, but
were able to lead
the jailer to Christ,
and his family. The Parthenon (above) was a series of temples built on
acropolis of Athens to honor false Greek gods, primarily
