A Riot at Ephesus
21 Now after these events Paul resolved in the Spirit to pass through Macedonia and Achaia and go to Jerusalem, saying, m“After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
11 The following dnight the Lord stood by him and said, “Take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must etestify also in Rome.”
10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 uFor I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual vgift to wstrengthen you— 12 that is, that we may xbe mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers,1 that I have often intended to come to you (but ythus far have been prevented), in order that I may reap some zharvest among you as well as among the rest of the Gentiles. 14 aI am under obligation both to Greeks and to bbarbarians,2 cboth to the wise and to the foolish. 15 So I am eager dto preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
