Paul's Second Missionary Journey (see map) refers to an episode in the lives of Paul of Tarsus, and the early Church, as narrated in the Acts of Apostles (15:30--18:21).
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 took John Mark with him, Silas joined Paul.
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 Caesarea Maritima and Antioch.
