Commentary on Acts 20:23

Theological / Devotional

Save that. Rather, “except that.”

Holy Ghost witnesseth. The record does not state whether this was by direct revelation (see on ch. 16:6, 7); by the predictions of prophets, as in ch. 21:4, 11; or by a deep and repeated impression on Paul’s mind.

Bonds and afflictions. Paul had a deep conviction that calamities were to come upon him, but he did not know the details.

Abide me. That is, await me, or remain for me.
