Acts 20:22

Read in context

Acts 20:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

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

21 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.

24 But I consider my life of no value to me, if only I may finish my course and complete the ministry I have received from the Lord Jesus—the ministry of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.
