Chronology of Apostle Paul's Journeys and Epistles

Matthew McGee

An understanding of the chronological order of events in Paul's ministry can be veryvaluable as a tool for the study of Acts and Paul's epistles. The book of Acts and the epistles of Paul sometimes tell us the length of timebetween one event and another. However, determining the year in which an eventtook place can require some research. It is mosthelpful to know the year of the beginning or end of the reigns of politicalrulers that are mentioned in the text. Some of the more helpful dates in studying the eventsin Paul's ministry are the death of King Aretas of Syria in 40 AD, the beginning of thereign of Claudius Caesar as Emperor of Rome in 41 AD, the death of HerodAgrippa I in 44 AD, the succession of Felix's reign as Procurator in Judea byPorcius Festus in 60 AD.

Here is a summary of the years of Paul's journeys and his epistles. The detailedchronology follows this section. I have also included a map of Paul's journeys belowsince this article refers to so many different geographical locations. All of themajor cities are identified, but you may wish to look on a more detailed map of Paul's journeys as well.Such a map may be found in the back of many Bibles and in some encyclopedias.

The table below lists, as accurately as I have been able to determine, the years of Paul's journeys and imprisonments.

The Chronology

The crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ occurred inthe spring of 32 AD.

Day of Pentecost (Acts 2)
Stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:59)

In about 37 AD, Jesus Christ speaks to Saul (Paul) on the road toDamascus.
Paul is led blind to Damascus (Acts 9:8).
After the visit by Ananias, Paul then goes to Arabia and returns to Damascuswhere he spends 3 years (Galatians 1:17-18 and Acts 9:22-23). In 37 AD KingAretas took control of Damascus when Emperor Tiberius Caesar died. Paul departedfrom Damascus at night, being let down from the city wall in a basket (Acts 9:25 and 2 Corinthians 11:32). This could not have been after40 AD, the year that King Aretas died.

Paul met with Barnabas, Peter, and James in Jerusalem (Acts 9:26 and Galatians1:18-19).
Paul in Caesarea and Tarsus (Acts 9:30)
Peter goes to house of Cornelius (Acts 10)

Barnabas gets Paul and they stay in Antioch (Syria) for one year (Acts 11:26).This must be between 41 AD (beginning of Claudius Caesar's reign) and44 AD (Acts 11:28). Believers are first called Christians at Antioch.

James, brother of John, killed by Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12:2).
Herod Agrippa I dies in 44 AD (Acts 12:23).

The first journey begins when Paul, Barnabas, and Mark set out fromAntioch (Acts 13:4). This journey started after 44 AD and ended a 'longtime' (Acts 14:28) before 50 AD.

They left Antioch for Seleucia and sailed to Cyprus, large island 100 milesoff Syrian coast. There they went to Salamis and Paphos where Paul metBar-Jesus the sorcerer. (Acts 13:4-6).

Then they sail to Perga in Pamphylia, which is now southern Turkey. From here,Mark returns to Jerusalem.

At Antioch in Pisidia (not to be confused with the one in Syria), Paul andBarnabas turn to the Gentiles (Acts 13:46).

Then it was on to Iconium, where they abode a 'long time' (Acts 14:3),Lystra, where Paul stoned, but lives (Acts 14:19), and Derbe. Then theyretraced their steps back through Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch (in Pisidia)(Acts 14:21).

Paul and Barnabas went throughout Pisidia, Pamphylia, then to Perga, Attalia,and sailed back to Antioch in Syria (Acts 14:24-26)

The first journey ends in Antioch, Syria, where Paul and Barnabas staythere a long time (Acts 14:28).

The dates for the events from 50-60 AD are found by counting backwards from thesuccession of Felix's reign as Procurator in Judea by Porcius Festus in 60 AD.Should one want to check these dates for accuracy, one should start at 60 ADand work backwards.

In about 50 AD, Paul and Barnabas go to the council in Jerusalem 14years after Paul's conversion (Galatians 2:1-9 and Acts 15:2).

Judas and Silas return to Antioch (Syria) with Barnabas and Paul where theycontinued some days (Acts 15:35-36), possibly in the winter of 50-51 AD.

The second journey begins, possibly in the spring of 51 AD. Paul takesSilas through Syria and Cilicia (now southeastern Turkey).

They came to Derbe and Lystra, where they find Timothy, who goes with Paul andSilas throughout Phrygia and Galatia. But they are forbidden by the Spirit togo into Asia or Bithynia. They passed through Mysia to Troas, the island ofSamothracia, and then to Neapolis in Macedonia (now northern Greece).

At Philippi, God opens the heart of Lydia and the Philippian jailer (Acts16:14-34).

Passing through Amphipolis and Appolonia, they came to Thessalonica, where Paultaught for 3 weeks.

After teaching some in Berea, Paul departed ahead of Silas and Timothy,southward into Achaia (now southern Greece), to Athens, possibly for the winterof 51-52 AD (Acts 17:14-15).

Paul then makes his first visit to Corinth where he stays a year anda half (Acts 18:1, 5, 11). This may have been from the spring of 52 AD to the fallof 53 AD. Here, Paul met Aquila and Priscilla, who had just come from Rome,from which Claudius Caesar had banished all Jews. Silas and Timothy rejoinPaul. First Thessalonians was written from here in about 52 AD (1 Thessalonians3:1-2, 6). We know that it was written from Corinth, and not from Athens,because Silas and Timothy had already rejoined Paul (1 Thessalonians 1:1 and Acts 18:5).Second Thessalonians was also written from Corinth. We know that it wassoon after the first letter, because like the first letter, Silas was withPaul when second Thessalonians was written. After Paul leaves Corinth, thereis no further mention of Silas traveling with Paul.

Paul left by boat with Aquila and Priscilla to Cenchrea and then across theAegean Sea to Ephesus. Aquila and Priscilla stay there where they would latermeet Apollos (Acts 18:19 and 26).

Paul sails on to Caesarea and then goes up to Antioch in Syria, where thesecond journey ends. Paul stayed a while (Acts 18:23). This may havebeen the winter of 53-54 AD.

The third journey begins with Galatia (central region of Turkey)possibly in the spring of 54 AD and then Phrygia (Acts 18:23).

Then Paul arrives at Ephesus where he stayed for 3 years (Acts 20:31)probably from the fall of 54 AD to the fall of 57 AD. Paul meets disciples ofJohn the Baptist. He preached in the synagogue for 3 months (Acts19:8). He disputed daily in the school of Tyrannus for 2 years (Acts19:9-10), so that all that dwelt in Asia heard the word. Paul sent Timothy andErastus ahead into Macedonia, but Paul stayed in Asia for a season (Acts19:22). Paul wrote 1 Corinthians near the end of this stay in Ephesus(1 Corinthians 16:8,19), probably in 57 AD. It was not written with Timothy, who Paulhad sent ahead into Macedonia (Acts 19:22). Paul foresaw his route of travelfor the next four or so years in Acts 19:21-22. This agrees with his plans in1 Corinthians 16:1, 3, 5, 8-10. Note how the 'great door' opened to Paul and'many adversaries' in verse 9 compares with the events in the Ephesianamphitheater in Acts 19:23-41. In 1 Corinthians 3:6, Paul says 'Apolloswatered'. This refers to Apollos teaching in Corinth when Paul was atEphesus (Acts 19:1).

Paul had rejoined Timothy when Second Corinthians was written (2 Corinthians 1:1).Paul had come to Troas and continued to Macedonia (2 Corinthians 2:12-13 and 7:5),where he was joined by Titus (2 Corinthians 7:6 & 13), which seems to correspond to Acts 20:1. Paul also talks of a third visit toCorinth in 2 Corinthians 13:1 and 12:14. So Second Corinthians was mostlikely written in the fall of 57 AD from somewhere in Macedonia (northernGreece), possibly at Philippi.

In 2 Corinthians 12:1-4, Paul says 14 years ago I ascended into heaven. From57, going back 14 years to 43 AD, this puts us back before Paul's firstjourney, probably when he was at Antioch in Syria.

After going through Macedonia (northern Greece), Paul came to Achaia (southernGreece) where he stayed 3 months (Acts 20:2-3), making third visit toCorinth. This is where he spent the winter of 57-58 AD (1 Corinthians 16:5-8).Romans was written at this time (Rom 15:23-26 and 1 Corinthians 16:1-3).

Going back to Macedonia (Acts 20:1), they were at Philippi (northeasternGreece) in spring of 58 AD in the 'days of unleavened bread' (Acts20:6).

Then they sailed to Troas, where a young man fell out of a window, and Paulraises him from the dead (Acts 20:7-12).

Then Paul went to Assos, Mitylene, Chios, Samos, Trogylium, and Miletus (now insouthwestern Turkey). From here, Paul addresses Ephesian elders whom he hadcalled to meet him (Acts 20:17-38) in the spring of 58 AD (Acts 20:16).

Sailing to Coos, Rhodes, Patara, and passing on the south side of Cyprus, theycame to Tyre (which is now in Lebanon) where they stayed one week. Then theywent south to Ptolemais and to Caesarea where they stayed many days (Acts21:10). Then Paul goes to Jerusalem, where the third journey ends.

Here let us pause to look at the question: When was Galatianswritten? Galatians was written when Paul was not in prison and when neitherSilas or Timothy were with him (Galatians 1:1). It was written after the council inJerusalem (Acts 15:1-32 and Galatians 2:1-10) and after Paul's second visit to theregion on his second journey in about 51 AD (Acts 16:1-6). Since they were'so soon removed' from grace (Galatians 1:6), it must have been before theprison years of 58-63 AD. So it could have been written when Paul was alone inAthens in the winter of 51-52 AD, which would make it Paul's first letter. Butthis is unlikely, since Paul was only in Athens a short time (Acts 17:15). Orit could have been written from Antioch between Paul's second and thirdjourneys in the winter of 53-54 AD (Acts 18:22-23). But this is also unlikelybecause Paul would have probably mentioned that he would be coming to them soonon his third journey. It could have been written from Corinth in the winter of57-58 where Paul wrote Romans. But most likely, it was written from Ephesusduring Paul's 3 years there from 54-57. Paul had recently passed through theregion of Galatia '... strengthening all the disciples ...' (Acts 18:23) andspent far more time in Ephesus where he could have gotten the unfavorablereport about the churches in Galatia (Galatians 1:6) which was relatively nearby.

The third journey ends at Jerusalem in 58 AD. Paul is beaten byJews, preaches to them (Acts 22:1-21), and is brought before Sanhedrin. JesusChrist tells Paul that he will go to bear him witness in Rome. Many Jews vowto kill Paul (Acts 23:12).

In 58 AD, Paul is taken to Governor Felix (reigned 53-60) at Caesarea,'many years' (Acts 24:10) after 53 AD and 2 years before end Felix'sreign. Paul then spends 2 years in prison in Caesarea in Judea.

In 60 AD, Governor Portius Festus reign begins. Paul appeals to Caesar(Acts 25:11).

Some days pass, then Herod Agrippa II hears Paul.

The voyage to Rome begins: Paul, still a prisoner, sails to Sidon withLuke and Aristarchus (Acts 27:1-2) on the way to Italy.

They sailed to Myra (now southern Turkey) and on to Lasea, on large island ofCrete, 50 miles southeast of Greece, where much time was spent (Acts27:7-13).

In the fall of 60 AD, they reached Melita, a small island south ofSicily. Paul was bitten by a poisonous snake but lived. Paul healed thefather of Publius and others. Paul (still captive) spends the winter of 60-61AD (Acts 28:11) on island with his captors .

In the spring, they sailed on to Syracuse (on island of Sicily), then toRhegium (on the southern tip of Italy), then to Puteoli (on the western coastof Italy).

The voyage to Rome ends: Paul spends 2 years in his own hiredhouse (Acts 28:30) as a prisoner in Rome from 61-63 AD. During thistime he wrote Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. In about 62AD, Paul wrote Ephesians before Timothy came to him (Ephesians 1:1) while inprison in Rome (Ephesians 3:1, 4:1, and 6:20). Also in about 62 AD, Paul wrotePhilippians from prison (Philippians 1:7) in Rome (4:23) with Timothy(1:1). Paul wrote Colossians from prison (Colossians 4:18) in Rome in about 62AD with Timothy (1:1) and fellow prisoner, Aristarchus (4:10). Paul, withTimothy, wrote Philemon from prison in 63 AD (Philemon 1:1).

Paul after the imprisonment in Rome: We know that Paul had furtherjourneys after he was released from the prison in Rome in 63 AD. After hisrelease, he wrote the epistles of Hebrews, Titus, First Timothy, and SecondTimothy, not necessarily in that order, although Second Timothy was apparentlyhis last. This took place after the events recorded in Acts, so all of ourinformation comes from various statements that Paul makes in his letters. Inthem are clues that Paul may have traveled to some or all of the followingplaces: Colosse, Spain, Corinth, Miletus, Troas, Crete, Nicopolis, Philippi, Italy,Judea, Ephesus, and Macedonia. This allows for the possibility that Paultraveled to about as many diverse places as in all of his previousjourneys combined. There are probably several possible ways that one couldreconstruct the sequence of these travels which would not disagree withscripture. Since I do not know which one would be correct, I will just listwhat I know about the journeys. Thus, the references below are not intended tobe chronological, although they all occurred after Paul's release from prisonin 63 AD.

In Philemon 22, Paul foresaw his release and tells those in Colosse toprepare him lodging. We know that Philemon was written to the Colossiansbecause of Archippus (Colossians 4:17 and Philemon 2), Onesimus (Colossians 4:9 and Philemon9-10), and others (Colossians 4:10-14 and Philemon 23-25). Also, while in prison in RomePaul wrote to those in Philippi that he may be coming to visit them (Philippians 1:26).

Events

In Romans 1:10, 15:24 and 28, and 16:1, 3, and 5 Paul speaks of aspirationsof eventually going to Spain. Did he ever do this in his final years?The Bible does not say whether he did or not. We do however have the account of the first century author, Clement of Rome, regarding Paul. 'After preaching both in the east and west, he gained the illustrious reputation due to his faith, having taught righteousness to the whole world, and come to the extreme limit of the west, and suffered martyrdom under the prefects' (The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians, Chapter 5). The 'extreme limit of the west' very well could be Spain.

At some time after being released from the prison in Rome, Paul went toCorinth and Miletus (2 Timothy 4:20). He also wentto Troas (2 Timothy 4:13), Crete (Titus 1:5), and Nicopolisfor the winter (Titus 3:12).

Paul leaving Titus in Crete must have been during a period of liberty afterPaul's imprisonment in Rome ended in 63 AD. Paul did not go there during thefirst 3 journeys. There is no mention of Titus or of any preaching on Crete inActs 27:7-13, on the voyage to Rome. Paul says he will send Artemas orTychicus to Titus. He tells Titus to come to Nicopolis where Paul hasdetermined to winter (Titus 3:12). The letter to Titus was probablywritten around 64-65 AD. There are three cities called Nicopolis: (1) inAchaia (southern Greece), most likely the one to which Paul was referring, (2)15 miles west of Jerusalem, and (3) in the area that is now Romania.

The book of Hebrews was apparently written from Italy (Hebrews 13:24). Timothy had been released from prison (Hebrews 13:23) and was coming toPaul. Paul was apparently at liberty as well, since they planned to then go tovisit the Hebrews. This could have been in Judea, as Paul says,'... ye had compassion of me in my bonds ...' (Hebrews 10:34). This must havebeen in reference to Paul's imprisonment in Caesarea from 58-60 AD. Hebrewswas probably written around 64-65 AD.

Paul had told Timothy to stay and teach in Ephesus when Paul went toMacedonia (1 Timothy 1:3). During the third journey, Paul had done theopposite, staying in Ephesus himself, and sending Timothy with Erastus toMacedonia (Acts 19:22). So First Timothy was written around 64-65 ADduring a period of liberty after Paul's Roman imprisonment of 61-63 AD. Paulsaid he was hoping to come to Timothy in Ephesus shortly, but may have to tarrylong (1 Timothy 3:14-15). Timothy was in Ephesus where he received both FirstTimothy and Second Timothy (1 Timothy 1:3, 2 Timothy 1:16-18, 4:14, 4:19, Acts 19:33,and 1 Timothy 1:20).

Second Timothy was apparently written from prison (2 Timothy 1:8) with Paulready to die (2 Timothy 4:6-8), possibly about 66 AD. Yet he asks Timothy to cometo him before winter (2 Timothy 4:9 and 21). Paul was probably martyred sometimearound 67 AD.
