19 Some of the Jews plotted against me and caused me a lot of sorrow and trouble. But I served the Lord and was humble.
20 When I preached in public or taught in your homes, I didn't hold back from telling anything that would help you.
21 I told Jews and Gentiles to turn to God and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
22 I don't know what will happen to me in Jerusalem, but I must obey God's Spirit and go there.
23 In every city I visit, I am told by the Holy Spirit that I will be put in jail and will be in trouble in Jerusalem.
24 But I don't care what happens to me, as long as I finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do. And that work is to tell the good news about God's great kindness.
25 I have gone from place to place, preaching to you about God's kingdom, but now I know that none of you will ever see me again.
