Acts 20:22-24
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
22 And now, behold— having been bound in my spirit[a], I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will meet[b] me in it, 23 except that the Holy Spirit is solemnly-warning me in each city, saying that imprisonment and afflictions are awaiting me. 24 But I am making my life of no account[c] as to value to myself so-as to finish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus— to solemnly-testify to the good-news about the grace of God.
