Paul’s Final Mission Journey and the Collection for Jerusalem
1 Corinthians 16
Overview
This map illustrates Paul’s final known mission journey, the long and demanding circuit he made across the eastern Mediterranean while organizing and carrying a financial offering for the believers in Jerusalem. Writing to the church in Corinth, Paul explains this plan in 1 Corinthians 16, describing how churches throughout Asia Minor and Greece participated in a coordinated effort to support fellow believers facing hardship.
The map traces Paul’s extended route through Asia Minor, Macedonia, Achaia, and the Aegean world, highlighting the sheer scale of this journey. By this point in his ministry, Paul had spent years strengthening churches, and this collection was both practical and symbolic — an act of unity between Gentile and Jewish believers. The geography makes clear that this was not a casual errand, but a costly and intentional mission that required months, even years, of travel.
This journey ultimately led Paul back toward Jerusalem, where the offering would be delivered — and where his arrest set in motion the final chapters of Acts. Seeing the route on a map helps readers grasp how generosity, perseverance, and risk converged at the end of Paul’s missionary work.
