Overview
According to the Acts of Apostles, Paul's Second Missionary Journey (49-52 CE) started with a dispute with Barnabas. The two former companions decided to separate. While Barnabas went to Cyprus with John Mark, Silas joined Paul in his journey to Asia and Greece.
Silas and Paul initially visited Tarsus, Derbe and Lystra, where Timothy also joined the company. They then moved to Greece, to Pilippi, Athens and finally, for almost two years, to Corinth.
In 52 CE, Paul and his companions sailed back to Ephesus, Caesarea Maritima and Antioch.
