1 & 2 Thessalonians

The_OUTLET

1 Thessalonians

After the Jerusalem Council in A.D. 49, Paul suggested that he and Barnabas
revisit the churches they had planted during their missionary journey. They disagreed
over taking John called Mark (Paul did not want to take him because he had deserted
them early in the first journey), so Barnabas took John/Mark and sailed to Cyprus; Paul
took Silas and headed out on foot (Acts 15:36-41).

2 Thessalonians

Recall that Paul, Silas, and Timothy were steered by the Spirit to Troas and then sailed
from there to Macedonia in response to a vision Paul had (Acts 16:6-10). In Philippi Paul and Silas were flogged illegally and thrown into prison (Acts 16:16-40). They then went to Thessalonica and planted the church to which the Thessalonian letters are written.
