Many people in Jerusalem had known Paul before he was a Christian. So, Paul went to two large regions where the Christians did not know him. Paul moved away from the *apostles and he worked by himself. The *apostles did not send Paul. He did not work with their authority. Paul came from the town called Tarsus, which was in Cilicia.

That *church was in Jerusalem.
