Map of Acts 16:11 — Acts 17:15

This picture is a Google Earth view showing the terrain as it is today in Greece, but what used to be called the area of Macedonia in the Bible times. However, I have marked out the locations of the cities that existed when Paul traveled through Macedonia in Acts 16 and 17. In the Bible we can read his letters written back to the church in two of these cities after he had visited them. The first two are to the “church of the Thessalonians” and one letter to “all the saints who are at Philippi.” You can use this map to visualize where Paul and his companions were located while you read Acts 16:11 — 17:15. Also, more details and truths are given as you read the epistles of I & II Thessalonians and Philippians.

Paul and his companions began by landing at Neapolis in the top right corner of this map. After traveling through the area, Paul left from the coast after teaching in Berea. I traced a line in orange which is only approximate of the path Paul that may have traveled. From this satellite view, you can see the urban area where Thessalonica used to be located (today it is called Thessaloniki). Also you can see how the lower valleys are used for agriculture, while the mountains are less inhabited and less traveled. This area is the first recorded place where the Word of God of the New Testament moved from the Eastern world to the West.

Enjoy,
