Where did Paul and his companions go after spending time in eastern Galatia?
After spending time at the eastern end of Galatia, Paul and his companions retraced their steps and went back to Antioch. This return concluded the first missionary journey, and the second missionary journey would be covered later. They retraced their steps rather than pressing into new territory.
Les explains that after Paul and his companions spent time at the eastern end of Galatia, they retraced their steps and went back to Antioch. This return concluded the first missionary journey. Les notes that the second missionary journey would be covered at a later time. The broader context describes Paul's travels through Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, Athens, Corinth, and toward Rome. Paul was a missionary to Attica, Pisidia, Lystra, and Derbe, little cities not far apart, where he performed a miracle in Lystra and was stoned in Derbe. The letter to the Galatians was written to assemblies being bombarded by Judaizers to return under the Law.
