This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Acts 18:23-21:16. Paul’s third and last missionary journey - He visits the churches of Galatia and Phrygia.
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 (1Co 16:1, 1Co 16:2), 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; 2Co 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.
