The "elders" of the church [in Ephesus] probably passed through Priene as they went to meet with Paul at Miletus (Acts 20: 17–18).

We will be visiting Priene on our 14-day Bible Study Tour to Turkey AND on our 33-day Bible Study Tour to Israel/Jordan, Turkey, and Greece—including all the places pictured here! (April 22–May 6, 2022).
