Chronology/Events taken from The Life & Epistles of St. Paul by Conybeare and Howson
** NOTE: The original map from Goodnews Christian Ministry showed Paul going from Ephesus to Assos to
Thessalonika (in Macedonia), and not from Ephesus to Troas to Philippi. Conybeare/Howson show Paul leaving Troas for Philippi, then retracing his
steps in A.D. 58 when he leaves Corinth. The map has been changed to reflect this research.
