Acts 20:21

19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, especially in the trials that came upon me through the plots of the Jews.

20 I did not shrink back from declaring anything that was helpful to you as I taught you publicly and from house to house,

testifying to Jews and Greeks alike about repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.

23 I only know that in town after town the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and afflictions await me.
