In context
21urging Jews and Greeks alike to turn to God in repentance and to have faith in our Lord Jesus. 22And now, bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there, 23except that in city after city the Holy Spirit warns me that chains and hardships are waiting for me. 24But I count my life of no value to myself; all I want is to finish my course and complete the service I received from the Lord Jesus: to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. 25And now I know that none of you, among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom, will see my face again.
