he declared particularly--in detail. what God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry--as on previous occasions (Act 14:27; and see Rom 15:15); no doubt referring to the insidious and systematic efforts of the Judaizing party in a number of places to shrivel the Church of Christ into a Jewish sect, and his own counter-procedure.

But now we are to attend him to Jerusalem, and there into lasting bonds; the days of his service now seem to be over, and nothing to remain but days of suffering, days of darkness, for they are many. It is a thousand pities that such a workman should be laid aside; yet so it is, and we must not only acquiesce, as his friends then did, saying, "The will of the Lord be done;" but we must believe, and shall find reason to do so, that Paul in the prison, and at the bar, is as truly glorifying God, and serving Christ's interest, as Paul in the pulpit was. In this chapter we have, I. A journal of Paul's voyage from Ephesus to Caesarea, the next sea-port to Jerusalem, some places he touched at, and his landing there (Act 21:1-7). II. The struggles he had with his friends at Caesarea, who mightily opposed his going up to Jerusalem, but could not prevail (Act 21:8-14). III. Paul's journey from Caesarea to Jerusalem, and the kind entertainment which the Christians there gave him (Act 21:15-17). IV. His compliance with the persuasions of the brethren there, who advised him so far to compliment the Jews as to go and purify that it might appear he was no such enemy to the Mosaic rites and ceremonies as he was reported to be (Act 21:18-26). V. The turning of this very thing against him by the Jews, and the apprehending of him in the temple as a criminal thereupon (Act 21:27-30). VI. The narrow escape he had of being pulled to pieces by the rabble, and the taking of him i…

وَلَمَّا حَضَرَا وَجَمَعَا الْكَنِيسَةَ، أَخْبَرَا بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ اللهُ مَعَهُمَا، وَأَنَّهُ فَتَحَ لِلأُمَمِ بَابَ الإِيمَانِ.
إِذْ كَانَ مَعْدُودًا بَيْنَنَا وَصَارَ لَهُ نَصِيبٌ فِي هذِهِ الْخِدْمَةِ.
وَلكِنَّنِي لَسْتُ أَحْتَسِبُ لِشَيْءٍ، وَلاَ نَفْسِي ثَمِينَةٌ عِنْدِي، حَتَّى أُتَمِّمَ بِفَرَحٍ سَعْيِي وَالْخِدْمَةَ الَّتِي أَخَذْتُهَا مِنَ الرَّبِّ يَسُوعَ، لأَشْهَدَ بِبِشَارَةِ نِعْمَةِ اللهِ.
وَلكِنْ بِنِعْمَةِ اللهِ أَنَا مَا أَنَا، وَنِعْمَتُهُ الْمُعْطَاةُ لِي لَمْ تَكُنْ بَاطِلَةً، بَلْ أَنَا تَعِبْتُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ جَمِيعِهِمْ. وَلكِنْ لاَ أَنَا، بَلْ نِعْمَةُ اللهِ الَّتِي مَعِي.
وَلَمَّا حَضَرُوا إِلَى أُورُشَلِيمَ قَبِلَتْهُمُ الْكَنِيسَةُ وَالرُّسُلُ وَالْمَشَايخُ، فَأَخْبَرُوهُمْ بِكُلِّ مَا صَنَعَ اللهُ مَعَهُمْ.
فَإِذْ نَحْنُ عَامِلُونَ مَعَهُ نَطْلُبُ أَنْ لاَ تَقْبَلُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ بَاطِلاً.
فَسَكَتَ الْجُمْهُورُ كُلُّهُ. وَكَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ بَرْنَابَا وَبُولُسَ يُحَدِّثَانِ بِجَمِيعِ مَا صَنَعَ اللهُ مِنَ الآيَاتِ وَالْعَجَائِبِ فِي الأُمَمِ بِوَاسِطَتِهِمْ.
الأَمْرُ الَّذِي لأَجْلِهِ أَتْعَبُ أَيْضًا مُجَاهِدًا، بِحَسَبِ عَمَلِهِ الَّذِي يَعْمَلُ فِيَّ بِقُوَّةٍ.
إِنَّ عَلاَمَاتِ الرَّسُولِ صُنِعَتْ بَيْنَكُمْ فِي كُلِّ صَبْرٍ، بِآيَاتٍ وَعَجَائِبَ وَقُوَّاتٍ.
