When the Jerusalem church sent Barnabas to Antioch on the Orontes in Acts 11:22, he was favorably impressed with the work of God there and decided he needed someone to help him. He went to Tarsus to get Paul before their first missionary journey. The distance between Antioch on the Orontes and Tarsus is 123 miles. It might have taken at least a week for Barnabas to reach Tarsus from Antioch. The Bible says Barnabas and Paul stayed in Antioch for a whole year and taught a great number of people before they were sent on their first journey (Acts 11:26b, NIV). This is the last reference to Paul's being in Tarsus in the Bible, but Paul probably went through Tarsus on his second and third missionary journeys before he started up into Galatia and Phrygia.
