Transcription

Paul's second missionary journey brought him to Thessalonica around 48-51. According to the book of Acts, he crossed over to Europe from what is now Western Turkey. He landed at Necropolis. . . and went first to Phillippi, where he managed to found the church to which he would later write his letter to the Phillippians (Acts 16:11-40).
