In Acts xx 1 to 6 is a very confused account of his migration from Greece to Syria, neither town nor province of Greece mentioned, we find him in his way to Syria dispatching before hand to Troas in Asia where they were to stay to him, no fewer than seven adherents whose names are mentioned, of whom Timotheus and Tychicus who with Titus appear to have been his most confidential servants viz. Timotheus and Tychicus are two: reserving for the accompanying of him /attendance on him/ the whole of the way a number of which all that the historian informs us is - that he himself was one.

Acts xx 1 to 6. 1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them and departed for to go into Macedonia.

2. And when he had gone over those parts and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,

3. And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia

4. And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus, and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus and of Asia Tychicus and Trophimus.

5. These going before tarried for us at Troas.

6. And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days

Chronology of Paul’s Epistles

Rom. XV. 24 25. 26. 27.

Proves that this letter written from Corinth was written after he had received the contribution from Macedonia and Achaia that he speaks of in & Cor and before the date of the last of those letters to the Corinthians. But I Cor. was written before his separation from Barnabas as per Acts XV. 39: for he speaks of Barnabas as with him.

I Cor. IX. 6

I Cor. was it written?

In Rom XV. 25. He says he is going to Jerusalem to minister to the Saints, viz. to deliver the contribution of Macedonia & Achaia.

Was this the visit with Barnabas (Visit II) or after the rupture with Barnabas? If so, it never was accomplished. Unless it was the Visit with Barnabas when they went on the other errand.

Epistle to the Ephesians is stated at the end as being written from Rome — if so affords no evidence of the perjury — So likewise that to the Philippians — and that to the Colossians

Thessalonians I & II are stated at the end as written from Athens. N.B. Per Acts XVII. 1 He is then for the first time at Thessalonica

Per Acts XVII. 15. He is then at Athens.

Per Acts XVIII. then (for the first time?) at Corinth.

Hebrews which stands last and is stated as being written from Italy. They came after the above. These are the last to sets of persons except to come then those to Timothy, Titus & Philemon.

Chronology continued

I Cor. XVI. 1. Now concerning the collection for the saints as I have given order to the Churches of Galatia, even so do you.

N.B. This must have been before the date of the Epistles we have to the Galatians. This being before the visit to Rome that written from Rome, after Visit III to Jerusalem.

Acts XX. 31. Paul’s speech to Ephesians at Miletus, by the space of three years I ceased not &c. He continued therefore so long at Ephesus.

Sufferings boasted.

II. Tim. III. II. Persecutions &c at Antioch, Iconium, Lystra. These the only persecutions he can mention when making the most of them to Timothy. Confront this with his detail about the 39 stripes &c.

Persecution

Titus I. 15 Unto the pure all things pure

or §. Paul’s Character

Asceticism — Paul preaches Titus III. We ourselves serving divers lusts &c in reference to I. Cor. III. II

To be quoted in the of Paul’s condemnation of Peter &c for doing what himself did. Rom. II. 1 Therefore thou are inexcusable, O man &c.

To be quoted in proof of the perjury Rom II. 26. 29. circumcision needless

Competition proofs

Rom. III. 8. we slanderously reported to say Do evil that good may come.

I. Cor. XVI. 9. ‘many adversaries — he who then entered.

1

Act VII. 50. First mention of Paul. ‘And cast him (Stephen) out of the city and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feeta young man’s feet whose name was Saul.’

2

Saul ‘was consenting to’ Stephen’s death. He makes havock of the Church haling men and women to prison and scattering them. Acts VIII 1 to 4.

He is 3 days without sight, meator drink.

6

Then comes story of the vision of Ananias a disciple who restores Saul to sight Acts IX. 10 to 19

7

All the evidence of Paul’s Apostleship is this Acts IX. 15 in the story of Ananias’s vision But the Lord said unto him (in a vision) Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and Kings and the children of Israel. For I must shew him how great things he must suffer for my sake

Then IX. v. 17 Ananias visiting him says Brother Saul the Lord (even Jesus that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. Then receiving his sight he was baptized v. 18. If this makes an Apostle, then all who received the Holy Ghost i.e. all who were baptized were Apostles.

8

Acts XXII. 1 to 21

Paul’s account to at Jerusalem — of his life and conversion.

According to this account the Lord Jesus himself gave him no commission of Apostleship only bid him go to Damascus ‘and there it shall be told you (v. 10) of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
