ACTS 18:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.”
After spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out from there and traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples — The third missionary journey's commencement receives minimal narrative attention; Luke reserves detailed space for Ephesus. 'Strengthening' (episterizō) suggests pastoral consolidation rather than new evangelization.
