Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 22. Bound in the spirit, led by inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Witham.—Chained, and forced, as it were, by the Holy Spirit, who offers me a sweet violence; or I am so strongly persuaded of the chains, which await me at Jerusalem, that I already feel myself bound in idea. Calmet.—I now go to Jerusalem for the fourth time, attracted by the Holy Ghost, who is the author and governor of all my actions, that where I have shewn myself the greatest enemy of the Church, there I may suffer tribulations in defence of the same Church, and for Christ, her divine spouse. Tirinus.
