Question: Where did Paul go after leaving Athens?

Posted on February 3, 2022February 8, 2022 By Kingston Tong No Comments on Question: Where did Paul go after leaving Athens?
New Testament

Thank you for the question on the Apostle Paul’s travel, “Where did Paul go after leaving Athens?”

I am uncertain as to the purpose of the question since Acts 18:1 states that Paul went to Corinth after leaving Athens. If there is something more to you question, please let the readers know. Thanks.

The earlier context states the Apostle Paul location of travel. Acts 17 says this, “13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. 16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. (NIV).

The Apostle Paul was at Thessalonica, to Berea, and then to Athen where he was waiting for his traveling companions, Silas and Timothy to join them.

Acts 18: 1 says this, “After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. 2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all Jews to leave Rome” (NIV).

I would think that the Apostle Paul in all his travels that he would have returned to Athens again since it was his practice to visit the believers and their house churches that were established in those cities.

Luke only records certain events of Paul’s travel, not all the stops that he made along his four missionary journeys.

SUMMARY: The Apostle Paul went to Corinth after he left Athens.
