Detailed explanation-1: -Paul himself said, when speaking of his conversion, that God had revealed his son to him so that he could preach the gospel to the Gentiles. Paul believed that’s why he got converted. God had chosen him to bring about salvation to the Gentiles; in other words, to the world.
Detailed explanation-2: -Upon arrival, they went to Phillipi, then to Samothrace, Neopolis, Amphipolis, Thessalonica, and Berea. Then Paul went to Athens, and finally to Corinth where he stayed for 1 1/2 years. After the Macedonian and Greek ministry, he traveled briefly to Ephesus, Caesarea, and back to Antioch in Syria.
