For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, in order that it might not happen to him to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying, if it was possible for him to be in Jerusalem [on] the Day of Pentecost.

Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus."

And when he remained unpersuaded, we were silent and said, "Let the will of the Lord be done."

When they found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."

But He said to them, "Let us go to the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also, because for this reason I have come forth."

Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his will to come at this time; however, he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
