Paul and Silas take the land route this time. They go up through Cilicia and likely go through the city of Tarsus. This is where Saul grew up, so who knows what he does there, but one can imagine that it is some family matters and impacting a synagogue that knew him well. Then the group goes through Galatia again and intends to serve more of Asia Minor. However, they are prevented by the Holy Spirit to do so. A young man from Lystra that was already a solid believer decides to go with Paul for this journey. Paul circumcises him to avoid any issues with Jews (note that this was not necessary due to Acts 15 but Paul wanted to be able to reach more people!). Then they are off and have a dream from God to head into Macedonia and start churches in the land of the Greeks. So they set off to do that!

A wealthy woman in Philippi named Lydia converts but Paul deals with some trouble in Philippi nonetheless. Yet when he is in jail, they convert the jailer. He is always about Jesus all the time! When the jail cells are opened and Paul and Silas are allowed to leave, the jailer seeks to commit suicide because he slacked in his duties. Paul says “Do not harm yourself, we are all here.” WHO DOES THIS? So the man listens to the truth of Jesus, surrenders his life to Him and then his household follows suit! Paul uses his Roman citizenship the next day to get a full release. Then they are off for some of the more famous Greek cities.
