PAUL'S THIRD AND LAST MISSIONARY JOURNEY—HE VISITS THE CHURCHES OF GALATIA AND PHRYGIA. (Acts 18:23-21:16)
And after he had spent some time there—but probably not long.
he departed—little thinking, probably, he was never more to return to Antioch.
went over all . . . Galatia and Phrygia in order—visiting the several churches in succession. See on Acts 16:6. Galatia is mentioned first here, as he would come to it first from Antioch. It was on this visitation that he ordained the weekly collection (I Corinthians 16:1-2), which has been since adopted generally, and converted into a public usage throughout Christendom. Timotheus and Erastus, Gaius and Aristarchus, appear to have accompanied him on this journey (Acts 19:22, Acts 19:29; II Corinthians 1:1), and from Second Corinthians we may presume, Titus also. The details of this visit, as of the former (Acts 16:6), are not given.
