Luke's Account of Paul's Second
Missionary Journey
Acts 13

Second Journey






Paul’s second missionary journey as described in Acts 16:1—18:22.














Leaving from Antioch in Syria, Paul travels by land to central Asia Minor where he visits Derbe and Lystra in southern Galatia and then Antioch in Pisidia. These are cities Luke says Paul had visited on this first journey earlier.

From Pisidian Antioch Paul goes to Troas on the shore of the Aegean sea, then departs for Macedonia. In Macedonia he begins churches in Philippi and Thessalonica.

Moving on to Boerea and from there to Athens, he debates with the Stoic philosophers there. In Corinth he founds a church with which he will have a long and conflicted relationship.

Upon leaving Corinth some 18 months later, Paul sails to Ephesus where he spends a very long period. When his ministry in Ephesus is complete, he takes a ship to Caesarea, and moves from there to Jerusalem be land, and eventually back to Antioch.
