47-48 AD – Paul’s First Missionary Journey

The church in Antioch sent Paul and Barnabas out on their first missionary journey. John Mark went along with them as well. The first place they preached was the island of Cyprus. There they made a stop at a Jewish synagogue in the city of Salamis.  After traveling throughout the island, they met a Jewish sorcerer in another city called Paphos. The sorcerer tried to turn the officer he worked for away from Paul and the faith. Paul responded to him, “You are a child of the devil!” and told him that he’d become blind. And so, it happened. As a result of that, and the teaching about the Lord, the officer believed.

After their time in Cyprus, they sailed along to Perga. While there, John Mark left them and went back to Jerusalem. We don’t know why he left, but we do know from Acts 15:38 that Paul considered it a fault. He didn’t want John Mark to travel with them the next time it was suggested. Much later though, in 2 Timothy 4:11, we see there must have been some reconciliation. Paul asks for Mark to come to him saying he is “useful for me in ministry”.

The next stop Paul and Barnabas made was Pisidian Antioch. There in a synagogue, he walked the Jews

Although so much of the New Testament was either written by or about the Apostle Paul, there’s one question that’s never answered there: How did Paul die? In this article, I’ll address this question, including the year Paul died, how old Paul was when he died, and where he died.

Who Was the Apostle Paul? A Brief Summary of His Life

We know very little about the early life of Paul. Paul, whose Hebrew name was Saul, may have been born around the year 5 CE, if he was a rough contemporary of Jesus – though of course he could have been younger or older. The Book of Acts says that Paul was from Tarsus, which means he was a Jew born and raised outside Palestine in Cilicia, a small region in modern-day Turkey. As a diaspora Jew, Paul learned Greek as his first language, although he learned Hebrew as well.

In his letters, Paul also tells us that he was a Pharisee. Pharisees, the forerunners of rabbinic Judaism, studied and interpreted the Torah meticulously and strove to live following its teachings.

In his own words, Paul “advanced in Judaism beyond many among my
