²² And see, now ^(A)I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there,

⁴ And finding ^[a]disciples, we stayed there seven days. ^(A)They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ And after those days we ^[a]packed and went up to Jerusalem.

²⁵ But now ^(A)I am going to Jerusalem to ^[a]minister to the saints.
