1 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | tumbleweed | 206756 | ||
Did Paul have three missionary journeys or four? I am confused because by NASB says in the introduction to 2 Timothy the following: Lockmand Foundation, NASB Giant Print Edition, page 1666, paragraph 1 - After Paul's release from prison in Rome in A.D. 62-63 and after his fourth missionary journey, during which he wrote 1 Timothy and Titus, he was again imprisoned in Rome under emporer Nero about A.D. 66-67. I only count three missionary journies in Acts and have heard that it is not true that Paul had four missionary journeys. What is correct and how do we know? tumbleweed, God's Own |

Hello tumbleweed, Some count the journey to Rome as Paul's fourth missionary journey. That is the difference. Steve |

Dear Steve The NASB says that first Paul went to prison in Rome and that after he went on the fourth missionary journey. According to what you are saying, some see the trip to Rome through Miletus as the fourth missionary journey? So then the journey to Miletus took place before the first Roman prison sentence. Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Titus were written by Paul while he served this first prison sentence between 60 AD and 62 AD. 1 Timothy and Titus were written after he got out of prison in 64 AD and 66-68 AD before the next Roman prison sentence. The NASB introduction to 2 Timothy says as that it was written after the first Roman imprisonment on some kind of fourth journey. What you are saying is that some say that the fourth missionary journey may have happened while on the way to Rome the first time. That would perhaps date 2 Timothy before Philemon, Colossians, Ephesians, Titus, Philippians, and 1 Timothy. That is if I was to try to put the information of what you say some say together with the dates of the books written in prison and it doesn't quite work out. But if I divorce when 2 Timothy was written from the fourth missionary journey, then what you have said works out just fine as an answer to my question about there being three journeys instead of four. Now I am up in the air and am not too sure what to believe about if there were three or four missionary journeys. tumbleweed, God's Own |

4 | Four Missionary Journeys? | 2 Tim 1:1 | srbaegon | 206864 | ||
Hello Tumbleweed, NASB notes are technically correct in saying that Paul had another missionary journey after being released from Rome after the end of the book of Acts. That missionary journey is rarely counted because it is not described as the others. That is why I said his journey to Rome is considered the fourth. All we have after his release are 1 Timothy, Titus, and 2 Timothy in that order. There is no further detail. Steve |
