²² And now, behold, bound by the ^[a]Spirit, ^(A)I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, ²³ except that ^(B)the Holy Spirit solemnly ^(C)testifies to me in every city, saying that ^(D)chains and afflictions await me. ²⁴ But ^(E)I do not consider my life of any account as dear to myself, so that I may ^(F)finish my course and ^(G)the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to ^(H)testify solemnly of the gospel of ^(I)God’s grace.

¹¹ But on ^(A)the following night, the Lord stood near him and said, “^(B)Be courageous! For ^(C)as you have ^(D)testified to the truth about Me in Jerusalem, so you must testify in Rome also.”

³ And there he spent three months, and when ^(A)a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for ^(B)Syria, he decided to return through ^(C)Macedonia.
