20:22 What does it mean here that Paul was going to Jerusalem bound in the spirit?
20:22 What does it mean here that Paul was going to Jerusalem bound in the spirit?
This means that Paul felt himself divinely compelled to go to Jerusalem despite the threat of danger and hardship which the Holy Spirit had been testifying awaited him (CP V23-25). Paul did not know the details of the danger though until he heard Agabus' prophecy in Ac 21 (CP 21:10-11).
Some Bible commentators believe that being bound in the spirit refers to the Holy Spirit; others believe it is Paul's own spirit. It does not matter who is right or wrong, because Paul felt himself divinely compelled to go anyway (CP also 19:21; 20:16).
