Who were companions of Paul on his third journey? From what city did he start? Through what lands did he first pa.s.s? What great city was his princ.i.p.al field of labor? In what neighboring cities did churches arise as a result? What provinces in Europe, and what cities in them, did he revisit? What was one of his important errands on this journey? Who accompanied Paul on his return? What letters were written while Paul was on this journey? Name the place from which each of these epistles was written. State the approximate date of each letter. What was the purpose or theme of each letter? Name some of the places where Paul stopped on his return journey. What took place at Troas? What took place at Miletus? Whom did Paul meet at Caesarea?

What was Paul's destination? What was his purpose in visiting the mother church? What happened to Paul at Jerusalem? To what place was he afterwards taken? How long was he a prisoner in that place?

PART THREE

IV. =Paul's Fourth Journey= (Acts 27 and 28). Although made by a prisoner, some of the time wearing a chain (Acts 26. 29; 28. 20), the journey to Rome was a missionary journey, in many respects like Paul's other journeys. To visit Rome had long been his desire and expectation (Acts 19. 21. Rom. 1. 15. Rom. 15. 23, 24). His companions on the journey, Luke, Aristarchus (Acts 27. 1, 2), and probably Timothy.

1. On the voyage he was able to bring the _gospel to the island of Malta_ (Acts 28. 7-10).

2. Arriving at _Rome_ (Acts 28. 16) he took up his work as nearly as possible according to his _regular method_. 1.) He found a _home_ and _employment_ (Acts 28. 16). 2.) As he could not go to the synagogue he _sent for the chief Jews_ and preached the gospel to them (Acts 28.

17-24). 3.) He then turned to the Gentiles (Acts 28. 28-31). 4.) Some _results_ of his ministry in Rome (Phil 1. 12-18).

3. _The Epistles of Paul's Imprisonment at Rome._ The order of these is uncertain, but they belong rather to the close of the period than to its opening.

1.) _Ephesians_; called by S. T. Coleridge ”the divinest composition of man;” written A. D. 62; its subject, ”The mystical union of Christ and his church.”

2.) _Philippians_; the most affectionate of all Paul's letters; written A. D. 62; its subject ”The character of Christ's followers.”

3.) _Colossians_; written to a church that Paul had never seen; about A. D. 62; subject, ”Christ the Head of the Church.”

4.) _Philemon_: a personal letter to a friend at Colossae concerning a _runaway slave_ Onesimus, whom Paul sent back, ”no longer a slave, but a brother beloved.”

V. =Paul's Later Years.= The record is uncertain, and almost unknown. It is probable, though not certain, that Paul was set free about 63 A. D.

1. _His years of liberty._ 63 to 67 A. D. Shall we speak of a _fifth journey_? We find hints or expectations of his being at Colossae (Philem.

22); Miletus (2 Tim. 4. 13); Nicopolis, north of Greece, on the Adriatic Sea (t.i.tus 3. 12). Tradition states that at this place he was arrested, and sent from it a second time to Rome.

2. _His last epistles._ It is not certain that all the ”pastoral epistles” were written by Paul. 1.) They are unlike his other writings in their style. 2.) His doctrinal views are not prominent in them. Yet on the whole, they show a reasonable probability of Paul's authors.h.i.+p.

1.) _First Timothy_ was written during the period of liberty, between 63 and 66 A. D., as a book of _counsels to a minister_, Timothy, in charge of the church at Ephesus.

2.) _t.i.tus_, about the same time and for the same purpose; to t.i.tus, in charge of churches on the island of Crete.

3.) _Second Timothy_, from Rome, during Paul's second and last imprisonment; a letter of farewell counsels to his ”son Timothy.” Strictly speaking this book should be named under the next subject.
