The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.
Paul traveled over 10,000 miles sharing the gospel. His journeys on land and sea took him primarily through present day Israel, Syria, Turkey, and Greece.
Paul walked the roads built by the Romans to facilitate their control over their Empire.
He took to the roads in as large a group as He could find. There was constant danger of bandits. They hurried to get to the next wayside inn for shelter and whatever food might be available.
Traveling by sea was not comfortable. They had to find a place on the deck exposed to sun, winds, and rain.
Paul’s trade as a tent-maker probably held him in good stead, as he could fashion shelter for himself and his companions on the deck.
In 2 Corinthians 11: 25 – 27 Paul describes some of the dangers of traveling.
25 … three times I was shipwrecked, I passed a night and a day on the deep; 26 on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own race, dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, … 27 in toil in hardship, through many sleepless nights, through hunger and thirst, through frequent fasting, through cold and exposure.
When the church was worshiping and fasting in Antioch, the Holy Spirit marked Paul and Barnabas for a unique missionary journey. This journey was to start at the port city of Antioch and head to the island of Cyprus, Barnabas' home.
Cyprus
When they reached Cyprus, John Mark assisted them as they proclaimed the gospel in the synagogues (Acts 13:5). They traveled from the port city of Salamis to Paphos on the opposite shore of Cyprus.At Paphos, a sorcerer greeted them indicating inferentialy that a governor in one of the provinces had sent for the missionaries because he wanted to hear God's Word. This was a message he was familiar with because, after the stoning of Stephen, many Christians had fled to Cyprus (Acts 11:19). Elymas the sorcerer resisted Paul and Barnabas in an attempt to keep Paulus from the faith. Paul called the sorcerer out as a child of the devil, and Elymas was struck blind for some time. When Paulus saw this, he became a follower of Jesus (Acts 13:6–12). Asia Minor From Cyprus, the companions traveled to Perga in Pamphylia (modern-day Turkey). At this point, John Mark decided to abandon the team and return to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13). This separation must have been the result of a large falling out because Paul and Barnabas fought about including John Mark in any further journeys. Paul shared the gospel in the synagogue, and at first, it was well received. The Jews invited Paul and Barnabas to return, but when they saw the crowds gathered to hear them on the following Sabbath, they were jealous and began to argue and insult Paul (Acts 13:45). In response, Paul instructed the crowd that he was no longer going to focus on ministering to the Jews and intended on sharing the message with the Gentiles. The Gentiles who were present received this news with joy, but the Jews started persecuting Paul and his companions, and they were forced to leave.
In Iconium, Paul and Barnabas attended another synagogue and spoke so effectively that many Jews and Gentiles accepted their words. But the Jews that didn't went out of their way to stir up trouble. Even though Paul and Barnabas were able to perform miracles that accompanied their teaching, the city was divided against them, and a plan was hatched to have them stoned (Acts 14:1–7). The missionaries fled to Lystra.
While they were in Lystra, Paul healed a man who was lame, and the crowd thought that the Greek gods had come to the land. They assumed that Barnabas was Zeus and Paul was Hermes (because Hermes was Zeus's messenger). Some priests from the local temple brought out bulls to sacrifice to the two Christians. Paul encouraged them to stop and shared that they were merely humans with testimony from God.
