c. a.d. 35–39
As Paul approached Damascus to arrest followers of the Way, Jesus appeared to him (1). Galatians 1:17makes it clear that soon after this Paul spent time in Arabia (2, 3) before going to meet church leaders in Jerusalem (4). When some believers learned of a plot to kill Paul in Jerusalem, they took him to Caesarea, and he returned to his hometown of Tarsus (5).
