Spain, Crete, Philippi, Nicopolis (apr 1, 62 – mar 1, 65)

Description:

This is drawn indirectly from 1 Clement 5:7 which mentions the tradition of Paul’s travels to the far west and implies some sort of knowledge about a release of Paul not mentioned by Luke. The tradition of Paul’s visit to Spain is also mentioned in the Muratorian Canon and the apocryphal Acts of Peter 1:1. Eusebius (Ecclesiastical History 2.22) also indicates unambiguous knowledge of the tradition of Paul’s release from a first Roman imprisonment, as well as of Paul’s eventual death at the hands of Nero when he came to Rome a second time.

I Clement 5:5-7
“Because of jealousy and strife, Paul, by his example, pointed out the way to the prize for patient endurance. After he had been seven times in chains, had been driven into exile, had been stoned and had preached in the East and in the West, he won the genuine glory for his faith, having taught righteousness to the whole world and having reached the farthest limits of the West. (‘to terma tes duseos’) Finally, when he had given his testimony before the rulers, he thus departed from the world and went to the holy place, having become an outstanding example of patient endurance.”
