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 Act 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 (Co1 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 (Act 19:22, Act 19:29; Co2 1:1), and from Second Corinthians we may presume, Titus also. The details of this visit, as of the former (Act 16:6), are not given.
