Apostle Paul made two grand tours into Asia Minor. During the first one (c. 43-46) he was accompanied by Barnabas, and he toured Lycaonia, Pamphylia, Pisidia, Galatia and Phrygia. During the second one (c. 52-56) he visited the Churches he had founded and then made his way to Ephesus, where he remained for approximately three years. Following a short journey to Corinth and mainland Greece he headed to Jerusalem, making a stop at some cities of Asia Minor, the last of which was Miletus. |
