After these things Paul departed from Athens and went to Corinth.

1. Paul is still alone. Luke remains at Philippi. Silas and Timothy are at Berea.

2. All the team will eventually be joined together again. But for now - Paul is alone.

3. He travels from Athens to Corinth.

1. Corinth is about 40 miles west of Athens.

2. There is a citadel of rock that rises almost 2,000 feet above sea level. At one time the entire city of Corinth was on top of this Aarea.

3. Corinth had three active harbors for ships.

4. There was also a canal cut through the rock. Ships could go through this canal with donkeys pulling the ship up the narrow channel.

5. The city is known for "Corinthian Brass". Albert Barnes writes, " Corinth was destroyed by the Romans 146 years before Christ; and during the conflagration several metals in a fused state, running together, produced the composition known as Corinthian brass. "
