Paul Passes Through Amphipolis and Apollonia on the Via Egnatia

After leaving Philippi Paul Silas and Timothy travel the Roman highway west through Amphipolis and Apollonia to reach Thessalonica where a Jewish synagogue gave them their next foothold for ministry.

Early ChurchNew Testament~50 CE

perseverance leadership witness

Acts 17:1 compresses about 160 km of Roman road travel into a single laconic sentence: "Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews." Paul, Silas, and Timothy had just left Philippi after their dramatic prison episode (the earthquake, the conversion of the jailer, and the magistrates' embarrassed plea that they leave the city quietly).

ActsThe God You Already Sense Is There

Paul moves through three cities with three very different receptions — riots in Thessalonica, eager Bible-checkers in Berea, and elite philosophers in Athens. Then he delivers a speech that starts where his audience already is — quoting their own poets — and ends with the resurrection.
