What happened here
1To the regions of Syria and Cilicia
Paul writes that he then came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia. The churches of Judea still did not know him by face; they only heard that their former persecutor was preaching the faith he once tried to destroy, and they glorified God.
Paul names only the regions, not any towns.
