<p>1:24 <em>And they glorified God in me</em>- The house churches in the area around Jerusalem &quot;Judea&quot; were obvious targets for Paul, who sought to drag Christians Jews into Jerusalem for punishment. They glorified not Paul but God's grace which had worked within Paul to bring about his conversion.</p><p><b><font size=5>Chronology of Paul&rsquo;s Life</font></b></p><div align=center><table border=0 cellspacing=4 cellpadding=0 width=100%>    <tbody>        <tr>            <td width=46%>            <p>Standard Chronology Of Paul's Life</p>            </td>            <td width=54%>            <p>John Robinson's Chronology Of Paul's Life (2)</p>            </td>        </tr>        <tr>            <td>            <p>AD 35 Paul&rsquo;s conversion <br />            36-38 In Arabia (1)<br />            38-43 Preaching in Damascus and Jerusalem<br />            44-46 Working in Antioch and Syria<br />            46-48 First missionary journey<br />            49-50 Jerusalem Conference<br />            50-52 Second missionary journey<br />            53-57 Third missionary journey<br />            57-59 Arrest- Jerusalem-Caesarea<br />            59-62 To Rome; first imprisonment<br />            63-66 Release; travels in Asia, Greece, Spain<br />            64-68 Nero&rsquo;s persecution of the Christians<br />            67 Arrest, imprisoned in a dungeon in Rome<br />            68 Final trial; executed.</p>            </td>            <td>            <p>AD33 Conversion <br />            35 First visit to Jerusalem<br />            46 Second famine-relief visit to Jerusalem<br />            47-48 First missionary journey<br />            48 Council of Jerusalem<br />            49-51 Second missionary journey<br />            52-57 Third missionary journey<br />            57 Arrival in Jerusalem<br />            57-59 Imprisonment in Caesarea<br />            60-62 Imprisonment in Rome</p>                                    </td>        </tr>    </tbody></table></div><p><strong>Notes</strong></p><p>(1) &quot;Arabia&quot; is from the word 'Arabah', and occurs in the LXX in Dt. 2:8; 3:17; 4:49 to mean simply the wilderness. Since Paul went there from Damascus, it has been suggested that he mixed with the Damascene Essene group. There are extensive parallels between the Qumran texts and the letter to the Hebrews, which could lend support to this suggestion- as if Paul wrote to an audience he knew. <br />(2) J.A.T.
