Welcome to another episode of 30 Minutes in the New Testament. 30 Minutes in New Testament is a 1517 podcast network podcast. You can go to 1517.org slash podcast. Check out all the other podcasts that are living over there. And while you're over there, check out everything else that 1517 is doing. Sign up for a new academy with Chad Bird. Learn how to read your Bible. You're listening to this podcast. You obviously aren't interested in the Bible, right? You like the Bible.

Chad's going to show you how to read it, man. He's going to give you those hermeneutical chops that you've been

lacking. So go over 1517, sign up. Guess how much that Academy will cost you? Nothing.

What? Huh? I thought you were thought about that 4899 nothing not a single

thing but you'll be so impressed that you'll be like i got to donate to this organization

immediately and then of course do that you know do that uh but yeah take that academy also sign up for

Grab some tickets to that.

We'd love to hang out with you.

It's going to be a good time.

You can hang out with Eric and myself and a bunch of other people.

Guys, we are in Acts chapter 21.

Paul is dead set on going to Jerusalem.

And apparently there's going to be unpleasant things waiting there for him.

Everyone knows it. I mean, God is showing this to everyone. And Paul's like, hey, you know,

I'm not that worried about the discomforts that await me there, but you are breaking my heart with how much is

bothering you, you know? Like, this is hurting you more than that it's hurting me. And so we see

some of that go on, and even though we have a vivid illustration of Paul's belt being taken

off his own body and wrapped around his legs or whatever and all this kind of stuff.

Paul is determined to go, and that's kind of where we left it, where he's saying,

listen, I am going to go to Jerusalem, and the Lord will do what the Lord's going to do there.

That's right.
