Romans 15:23

21 Rather, as it is written: “Those who were not told about Him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.”

22 That is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

But now that there are no further opportunities for me in these regions, and since I have longed for many years to visit you,

24 I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.

25 Now, however, I am on my way to Jerusalem to serve the saints there.
