Detailed explanation-1: -This was helped by energetic apostles, such as Paul and by the modern communications of the Roman Empire. Over 30 years, Paul clocked up around 10, 000 miles, traveling across the Roman Empire. He preached in some of the empire’s most important cities.

Detailed explanation-2: -Famously converted on the road to Damascus, he travelled tens of thousands of miles around the Mediterranean spreading the word of Jesus and it was Paul who came up with the doctrine that would turn Christianity from a small sect of Judaism into a worldwide faith that was open to all.

Detailed explanation-3: -Of the various companions of Paul, three – Barnabas, John Mark, and Silas – are identified with Jerusalem (4:36, 12:12, 15:22). The others are identified with the Diaspora: Timothy is from Lystra (16:1), and the other companions are associated in some way with Macedonia or with Paul’s travels there.

Detailed explanation-4: -The conversion of Paul the Apostle (also the Pauline conversion, Damascene conversion, Damascus Christophany and the “road to Damascus” event) was, according to the New Testament, an event in the life of Saul/Paul the Apostle that led him to cease persecuting early Christians and to become a follower of Jesus.
