consented not; but taking his leave of them, and
saying, "I will return again unto you, if God will," he set sail from
Ephesus.

And when he had landed at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and saluted
the church, and went down to Antioch.

THE THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY.

After brief visits at _Jerusalem_ and _Antioch_, Paul started by the
land route for Galatia. After revisiting the churches there he came
through central Asia Minor to _Ephesus_. For two years Paul made this
great city the center of missionary effort. After the great riot in
_Ephesus_, which interrupted his plans, Paul set sail on a coasting
vessel for _Macedonia_, changing ship at _Troas_. Thence he sailed for
_Philippi_ and remained three months with the Macedonian churches. Then
he went to _Corinth_, where he stayed three months more. At the opening
of navigation in the spring he sailed again for _Macedonia_, visiting
_Philippi_. From Philippi he started on a long and tedious voyage by
coasting vessel, bound for Jerusalem. He touched on the voyage at
_Troas, Assos, Mitylene, Samos, Trogyllium, Miletus, Cos, Rhodes,
Patara_. These are towns on the islands and along the coast of Asia
Minor. The ship made slow progress, doing a coasting trade no doubt, and
waiting for favorable winds. At Patara they found a big merchantman
bound directly for Tyre, calling only at Myra. Before the strong west
wind the ship made a good run out of sight of land from coast to coast
except when the southern shores of Cyprus were passed. After a few days'
stop at Tyre, the ship went on to _Caesarea_, stopping at _Ptolemais_.
Then Paul went up to Jerusalem, and the great third missionary campaign
was over.

After having spent some time at Antioch, he departed, and went through
the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, stablishing all the
disciples.
