- As I said before, it is incredible to think that on the one hand, you have 12 apostles dealing with a small territory, and, on the other hand, one man dealing with a huge territory!
- Thus Jesus needed someone who was very special to be able to fulfill such a gigantic mission!

Many of the other apostles went all over the place. There were the 12 apostles, but many other apostles too, Paul being a prime example of them. But we still have this gigantic mission and half the world doesn't even have any idea, who Jesus Christ is...

If you look at the Bible, dealing with missionary work that is going to places or cities and creating groups and visiting them again, you have the apostles in Israel, and Paul going everywhere!
- Could you explain all over the place according to the Bible?

You can look at history. For instance Philip went to Hieropolis. John became a pastor of the church in Ephesus and then ended up in Patmos. Of course Peter ended up in Rome. Thomas went to India. You might want to google it. There is lots of information on line. And remember they were told in Acts 1:8 that they would go to the uttermost parts of the world.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_of_Patmos
John of Patmos (also called John the Revelator, John the Divine, John the Theologian) is the name traditionally given to the author of the Book of Revelation. The text of Revelation states that John was on Patmos, a Greek island where, according to most biblical historians, he was exiled as a result of anti-Christian persecution under the Roman emperor Domitian.
https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/apocalypse/revelation/white.html
The Book of Revelation was written sometime around 96 CE in Asia Minor. The author was probably a Christian from Ephesus known as "John the Elder." According to the Book, this John was on the island of Patmos, not far from the coast of Asia Minor, "because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus" (Rev. 1.10). This has traditionally been taken to mean that he had been exiled there as a martyr for his Christian faith. Some scholars, however, have suggested that it might have been a regular stop on a preaching circuit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle
John the Apostle[10] (Ancient Greek: Ἰωάννης; Latin: Ioannes[11] c. 6 AD – c. 100 AD; Ge'ez: ዮሐንስ
or Saint John the Beloved was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Generally listed as the youngest apostle, he was the son of Zebedee and Salome. His brother James was another of the Twelve Apostles. The Church Fathers identify him as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Elder, and the Beloved Disciple, and testify that he outlived the remaining apostles and was the only one to die of natural causes, although modern scholars are divided on the veracity of these claims.
- Let’s say John wrote his last will before dying!
- Now let’s have a look at Paul!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle
Paul[a] (previously called Saul of Tarsus;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Apostle#cite_note-8 c. 5 – c. 64/65 AD), commonly known as Paul the Apostle[7] and Saint Paul,[8] was a Christian apostle who spread the teachings of Jesus in the first-century world.[9] Generally regarded as one of the most important figures of the Apostolic Age,[8][10] he founded several Christian communities in Asia Minor and Europe from the mid-40s to the mid-50s AD.
- Romans:
A.D. 57
When Was Romans Written? The Apostle Paul wrote his epistle to the Romans before the end of his third missionary journey (around A.D. 57–59; approximately twenty-five years after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ).
- Corinthians:
The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, probably written about 53–54 ce at Ephesus, Asia Minor, deals with problems that arose in the early years after Paul's initial missionary visit (c. 50–51) to Corinth and his establishment there of a Christian community.
- Galatians:
Paul likely wrote his Epistle to the Galatians while traveling through Macedonia during his third missionary journey in about A.D. 55–57 (see Bible Dictionary, “Pauline Epistles”).
- Ephesians:
AD 60–61
Paul wrote the letter to the Ephesians sometime in AD 60–61, around the same time he wrote Colossians and Philemon, as he sent all three letters by the hand of Tychicus, accompanied by Onesimus (Ephesians 6:21; Colossians 4:7–9; Philemon 1:10–12).
- Philippians:
about 62 ce
Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, abbreviation Philippians, eleventh book of the New Testament, written by St. Paul the Apostle to the Christian congregation he had established in Philippi. It was penned while he was in prison, probably at Rome or Ephesus, about 62 ce.
- Colossians:
When and where was it written? Paul wrote this epistle during his first imprisonment in Rome, around A.D. 60–62 (see Guide to the Scriptures, “Pauline Epistles,” scriptures.lds.org). Paul probably wrote the Epistle to the Colossians around the same time he wrote Philippians, Ephesians, and Philemon.
- Thessalonians:
When and where was it written? “Paul wrote the epistles to the Thessalonians from Corinth during his second missionary journey,” around A.D. 50–51 (Guide to the Scriptures, “Pauline Epistles,” scriptures.lds.org).
- Timothy:
When and Where Was It Written? Paul's First Epistle to Timothy was likely written sometime between A.D. 64 and 65, possibly while Paul was in Macedonia (see Guide to the Scriptures, “Pauline Epistles,” scriptures.lds.org; 1 Timothy 1:3).
- Titus:
Paul wrote his letter to Titus from Nicopolis in AD 63, after the apostle's release from his first Roman imprisonment. Upon leaving Timothy in Ephesus to minister there, Paul accompanied Titus to the island of Crete, where he intended Titus to lead and organize the island's churches in their early years of existence.
- Philemon:
When and where was it written? The Epistle to Philemon was prepared by Paul during the Apostle's first imprisonment in Rome, around A.D. 60–62 (see Philemon 1:1, 9; Guide to the Scriptures, “Pauline Epistles,” scriptures.lds.org).
- Hebrews:
The letter was composed sometime during the latter half of the 1st century and is the 19th book of the New Testament canon. To judge from its contents, the letter was addressed to a Christian community whose faith was faltering because of strong Jewish influences.
The Epistle to the Hebrews of the Christian Bible is one of the New Testament books whose canonicity was disputed. Traditionally, Paul the Apostle was thought to be the author. However, since the third century this has been questioned, and the consensus among most modern scholars is that the author is unknown.

13) Looking for Paul
Acts 21
In Tyre, the disciples tell Paul not to go to Jerusalem but he has to go. In Caesarea, a prophet named Agabus says that Paul will be tied and given to the people of the nations. So once again the disciples beg Paul not to go but he must go there. Rumors have spread among the Jews about Paul so he has to explain himself in front of the Jews. But when Paul is in the temple, Jews from Asia seize him and they try to kill him but the commander of the army stops them and takes Paul into custody. And Paul asks the commander to speak to the crowd.
- Paul keeps teaching God’s word whatever happens!
- And many things happened to him!
- On many occasions, the Jews tried to kill him!
- And he was beaten and stoned!
- But he kept speaking boldly about God’s word and about Jesus!
- And he was decided to obey God on any occasion till his death, always speaking boldly before authorities or crowds!

14) Looking for Paul
Acts 22
So Paul speaks to the Jews telling about his history and about Jesus. But the Jews start to shout so the commander takes him into the soldiers’ quarters and interrogate him under scourging to know exactly what’s on. Then Paul asks the army officer if it is lawful to scourge a Roman who has not been condemned. So the army officer goes and asks the commander who is afraid because Paul is a Roman by birth. So the next day he has Paul stand among the chief priests and the Sanhedrin.
- At first, Paul can speak!
- After some time, the Jews do everything to prevent him to speak!
- Then he is scourged!
- Then the commander wants to know exactly what’s on so he assembles Paul and the high priests and the Sanhedrin!
- Paul is always ready to defend himself and his faith before anyone!
- The Jews do their best to prevent him and want to kill him!
- As they have no real arguments against Paul, they try to make noise to stop him!
- And if it was possible, they would kill him!
- That’s what we call savages and their father is the devil!
- Paul is not afraid of dying!
- He has filled his mission for God!

15) Looking for Paul
Acts 23
- Paul speaks in a way to divide the Pharisees and the Saduceans!
- Fearing for Paul’s security, the commander has Paul brought to the soldiers’ quarters!
- At night Paul has a vision in which the Lord tells him that he will go to Rome!
- The Jews want to kill Paul so they ask the commander to bring Paul before the Sanhedrin!
- Paul is being told of the conspiracy!
- Then the commander is informed of the conspiracy!
- So he sends Paul with many soldiers to Felix the governor!
- Then Felix wants to listen to Paul and his accusers!
- Paul keeps speaking boldly!
- And the Jews keep trying to kill him!
- But they will never succeed because Paul’s mission is not finished!
- And he must go to Rome!

16) Looking for Paul
Acts 24
So Felix listens to the accusers and Paul. And Felix decides to wait for the commander to come to take a decision. Paul is kept under arrest but given some freedom. Later he asks Paul to speak about the Christ in front of him and his wife who is Jewish. So Paul has various occasions to speak to Felix who expects Paul to give him money for his freedom. But after two years Felix is replaced by Porcius Festus.
- As usual we are told about corruption: corruption about the Romans and about the Jews!
- And Paul keeps speaking boldly about God’s word and about Jesus!
- Time changes but corruption stays!
- And faithfulness too but not for the majority!
- Faithfulness is a rare jewel or a precious stone or gold!
