Commentary on Acts 21:14

Theological / Devotional

Will ... be done. The church saw that no appeal would avail and that Paul’s face was set to go to Jerusalem. The divine will was made clear in Paul’s own resolve to proceed to Jerusalem in spite of threatening dangers. Doing the will of God brings inward peace, though it may result in external turmoil and suffering. Compare Luke 22:42.
