Map of Paul's Third Missionary Journey
After a long ministry in Ephesus, Paul revisits Macedonia and Achaia before heading toward Jerusalem.
This journey has 6 stages through 6 places. It begins at Ephesus and ends at Jerusalem; joining each stop with a straight line on the map gives about 2,380 km. In today's terms the route crosses Türkiye, Greece, and Israel. The actual route followed roads and terrain, so treat this distance as a sense of scale rather than a measured itinerary.
