Second Missionary Journey[s] – Departures:

Acts of the Apostles 15:39

Acts 15:39-40 Barnabas and Mark depart for Cypress while Paul will journey with Silas to Derby
2 missionary journeys

39 And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, 

Paul is stranded in Antioch [see map]

NEW PLAN:

  • DO NOT PASS GO
  • Go BACK to Jerusalem
  • Bring Silas along to Antioch
  • GO BY LAND
    • From Antioch North through Syria
    • Preach the Gospel to NEW Towns in CILICIA
    • Continue from Derby to the Churches started on the First Missionary Journey

Acts 15:40 (some weeks later)

  • ~AD 49 or AD 50

40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, having been commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord. 

41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
