This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Went through (diērcheto). Imperfect middle. So Paul went forth on his second mission tour with heart-aches and high hopes mingled together. Syria and Cilicia (tēn Surian kai tēn Kilikian). He took the opposite course from the first tour, leaving Cyprus to Barnabas and Mark. Probably Paul had established these churches while in Tarsus after leaving Jerusalem (Act 9:30; Gal 1:21). Paul would go “by the Gulf of Issus through the Syrian Gates, a narrow road between steep rocks and the sea, and then inland, probably past Tarsus and over Matthew. Taurus by the Cilician gates” (Page). This second tour will occupy Luke’s story in Acts through Act 18:22.
