I put together this chart to help me see which cities Paul visited and when and see who was with him.
I also wanted to see when he visited Thessalonica since we are reading that next. He doesn't visit it until his second trip, which is one reason why some people say that he may have written his letter to the Galatians before the book to the Thessalonians. Either way, we'll stick with reading Thessalonians next.
