Second missionary journey begins. Paul and Barnabas travel to Antioch.

At Antioch John Mark (who left them at Perga on their first missionary journey) wishes to rejoin Paul/Barnabas. A disagreement ensues between Paul and Barnabas about whether to allow Mark to come with them. The argument is so heated that Paul finally decides to take Silas with him to Tarsus, Derbe, Lystra, Iconium and Antioch in Pisidia. Barnabas takes John Mark and travels to the island of Cypress (Cyprus).

At Lystra Paul meets Timothy, who accompanies him on the rest of his journey.

Paul/Silas/Timothy travel to Troas, Philippi, Thessalonica and Beroea (Berea).

Jews from Thessalonica come to Berea and stir up the people against Paul. He is sent by sea to Athens. Silas and Timothy stay in Berea for a time. It is possible Timothy later travels to Athens, meets Paul, and is sent to revisit Thessalonica.

Paul travels to Corinth and writes 1 Thessalonians. Timothy and Silas are with him. Paul meets Aquila and Priscilla.
