Third Missionary Journey

Date:: AD 50
Duration:: 4 years

Paul's longest missionary journey centers on an extended, roughly three-year ministry in Ephesus before he revisits the churches of Macedonia and Greece, gathering a relief collection for the Jerusalem church along the way (Acts 18:23-21:16). Several of his New Testament letters, including Romans and 1 and 2 Corinthians, were written during or shortly after it.
