Where did paul preach in ephesus
•
St Paul had to struggle with magicians and soothsayers in Ephesus while struggling with state offices and pagans. In a short time, Ephesus became the third important city of Christianity after Jerusalem and Antioch. Christianity rapidly gained popularity in Ephesus and by the popularity of this new religion, the jeweler Demetrius and others who earned a living by selling and making silver statues of Mother Goddess Artemis, were quite distressed. Demetrius and his colleagues provoked thousands of people and met with them in the Ephesus theatre and started shouting “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians.” St Paul wanted to face the crowd but disciples would not let him. Finally, the city clerk announced that the courts were open for people who had a complaint and dispersed the crowd. After this event St Paul left Ephesus and went to Macedonia.
It is seen that Ephesus had an important place in the lives of both apostles but both of them were not in Ephesus at the same time. John and Paul led different communities in Ephesus.
For travelers interested in biblical sites, Ephesus is especially noteworthy as being the place where St.Paul visited and preached early Christianity to the people.

31. Ephesus
The ruins of the Greek theater at Ephesus, where the Apostle Paul preached. During New Testament times, Ephesus was famous throughout the known world for its magnificent temple built in honor of the pagan Roman goddess Diana. Now in ruins, Ephesus was once the capital of the Roman province of Asia and a great center of commerce. The silversmiths of the city developed a flourishing trade selling images of Diana.
Significant Events: The Apostle Paul visited Ephesus near the end of his second missionary journey (Acts 18:18–19). On his third journey he stayed in the city for two years. He was forced to leave because of the uproar caused by the silversmiths who were losing business as Paul preached against the worship of the false goddess Diana (Acts 19:1, 10, 23–41; 20:1). The theater of Ephesus was the largest ever built by the Greeks and the site where Paul’s companions faced a mob (Acts 19:29–31). Paul wrote an epistle to the members of the Church at Ephesus during his captivity in Rome. One of the seven branches of the Church in Asia to which the book of Revelation is addressed was located in Ephesus (Rev. 1:10–11; 2:1). (See BD Ephesus.)
