Apostle Paul

Paul of Tarsus crossed the Roman world three times, on foot and by ship. This app lets you watch him do it.

Choose a journey and press play. A marker travels the route stop by stop across a hand-drawn parchment map — walking overland, sailing by sea — while the road behind it is drawn in. Pause anywhere, step forward or back a stop, restart, or speed the voyage up to 2x or 4x.

At every stop a card tells you where you are and what happened there: a short account in plain language, the notable events as brief points, and the verses from the Book of Acts that record them, in the King James text.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• All three missionary journeys, from Antioch to Jerusalem — 43 stops and 10,310 km in all • First Journey: Cyprus and Galatia, c. AD 46–48 (Acts 13–14) • Second Journey: Into Europe, c. AD 49–52 (Acts 15:36–18:22) • Third Journey: Ephesus and the Road to Jerusalem, c. AD 53–57 (Acts 18:23–21:17) • 84 verses from Acts, King James Version • 36 photographs of the sites as they stand today, covering 24 places • Ancient names alongside modern ones — Lystra near Hatunsaray, Corinth near Kórinthos • Sea legs and land legs drawn differently, so you can see when Paul sailed and when he walked
