After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
All Commentaries on Acts 19:21 Go To Acts 19
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He no longer speaks here after the manner of a man, or, He purposed to pass through those regions, without tarrying longer. Wherefore does he send away Timothy and Erastus? Of this I suppose he says, Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone. He sent away, it says, two of those who ministered to him 1 Thessalonians 3:1, both to announce his coming, and to make them more eager. But he himself tarried awhile in Asia.
