Chapter 13—Paul at Ephesus While Apollos was preaching at Corinth, Paul fulfilled his promise to return to Ephesus. He had made a brief visit to Jerusalem, and had spent some time at Antioch, the scene of his early labors. Thence he had traveled through Asia Minor, visiting the churches which he had himself established, and strengthening the faith of the disciples.{LP 128.2}

Medens Apollos forkyndte i Korint, opfyldte Paulus sit løfte at vende tilbage til Efesus. Han gjorde et kort besøg i Jerusalem, og brugte nogen tid i Antiokia, som var stedet for hans første arbejde. Herfra rejste han gennem Lilleasien, og besøgte de menigheder som han selv havde oprettet, og styrkede disciplenes tro.
