What were the two Antioch cities in Paul's history and where were they?

Paul's history includes Antioch in Syria, the city he came from, and Antioch of Pisidia, located in western Turkey. The Syrian Antioch is distinct from Pisidian Antioch, where he rehearsed Israel's history in the Jewish synagogue. These are the two Antiochs in Paul's history.

Les explains that there are two Antiochs in Paul's history. One is the Antioch back in Syria, the city Paul came from. The other is Antioch of Pisidia, located in western Turkey. Les notes that Paul's greatest work was in Asia Minor, the area including Ephesus, Colossae, Pergamos, and Thyatira. He says the next program will briefly examine, not verse by verse, the message Paul rehearsed in the Jewish synagogue at Antioch of Pisidia, where Paul goes through Israel's history much as Stephen did in Acts chapter 7.
