Paul’s third missionary journey begins with Acts 19:23. The previous two verses tell us only briefly that he went to Jerusalem, then to Antioch, then began his third journey. He traveled through the places of his previous ministries and made his way to Ephesus. His preaching of the gospel was attended by miracles and great success, but when success comes so does opposition. The photo shows the Arcadian Way, looking toward what used to be the harbor from near the theater where Paul was almost mobbed. Ephesus was an important Christian center and several significant remains exist, especially the tomb of the Apostle John, which probably is authentic, and the house where Jesus’ mother lived, which probably is not.
