Second location: Rhodes and Athens, Greece
    He briefly went through the Greek island of Rhodes.  As for Athens, he stayed there longer (51-52 A.D.) and disputed with many of the philosophers at that time.  He gave a speech in the Areopagus, telling Athenians that the "Unknown God," to whom they had a shrine dedicated to, was in fact known as the God who had raised Jesus from the dead.
