Having stated these different theories for the reader's examination, we will now notice the places mentioned in the Epistles as visited by Paul.
1. At some time after leaving Rome, Paul and his companions must have visited Asia Minor and Greece. "As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine." (1 Tim. 1:33As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, (1 Timothy 1:3).) Feeling, it may be, somewhat anxious about his son Timothy, and the weight of the responsibilities of his position at Ephesus, he sends him a letter of
encouragement, comfort, and authority from Macedonia -The First Epistle To Timothy.
Some time after this, Paul visited the island of Crete in company with Titus, and left him there. He also very soon after sent him a letter of instruction and authority, The Epistle To Titus. Timothy and Titus may be considered as delegates or representatives of the apostle. "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee." Titus 1:55For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: (Titus 1:5).
Paul was intending to spend the winter at a place called Nicopolis. "When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis; for I have determined there to winter." (Titus 3:1212When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter. (Titus 3:12).)
He visited Troas, Corinth, and Miletum. "The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.... Erastus abode at Corinth; but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick." (2 Tim. 4:13, 2013The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. (2 Timothy 4:13)
20Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick. (2 Timothy 4:20).)
