On his first journey, which places did Paul visit?

• A. Judea and Samaria
• B. Cyprus and Pisidia
• C. Galatia and Phrygia
• D. Egypt and Mesopotamia

Answer: (B)

Paul’s first missionary journey opened with two clear stops: Cyprus, where he and Barnabas began preaching on the island, and Pisidia (Antioch in Pisidia) in Asia Minor, where they continued to proclaim the gospel in the synagogue. This sequence is laid out in Acts 13–14 and is the best match for what describes the first leg of that journey. Judea and Samaria belong to earlier phases of the gospel’s spread and to Jesus’s ministry, not the opening itinerary of Paul’s first voyage; Egypt and Mesopotamia aren’t part of the recorded travels in that initial journey; Galatia and Phrygia appear in Paul’s later travels or in his letters, but the first journey’s opening stops are specifically Cyprus and Pisidia.
