²² And see, now ^(A)I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

¹⁴ whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? ^(A)It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

¹⁴ For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that ^(A)if One died for all, then all died;

^14 (A)knowing that shortly I must ^[a]put off my tent, just as ^(B)our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

Jesus a Third Time Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(A)

^31 (B)Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things ^(C)that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be ^[a]accomplished. ³² For ^(D)He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. ³³ They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

¹¹ When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ^(A)‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”

¹² Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered, ^(B)“What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴ So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, ^(C)“The will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁶ For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for ^(A)he was hurrying ^(B)to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on ^(C)the Day of Pentecost.

The Riot at Ephesus

^21 (A)When these things were accomplished, Paul ^(B)purposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through ^(C)Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, ^(D)I must also see Rome.”

The Philosophers at Athens

¹⁶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, ^(A)his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was ^[a]given over to idols.
