Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Romans 15:22-29

St. Paul here declares his purpose to come and see the Christians at Rome. Upon this head his matter is but common and ordinary, appointing a visit to his friends; but the manner of his expression is gracious and savoury, very instructive, and for our imitation. We should learn by it to speak of our common affairs in the language of Canaan. Even our common discourse should have an air of grace; by this it will appear what country we belong to. It should seem that Paul's company was very much... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Romans 15:22-29

15:22-29 And that is why on many occasions I found the way to come to you blocked. But now, since I have no longer a sphere for work in these areas, and since for many years back I have had a great desire to come to you, when I shall go to Spain I hope to see you on my way through; and, I hope, after I have first enjoyed your company for a while, to be sped on my way by you. But at the moment I am on my way to Jerusalem, to render some service to God's dedicated people there. For Macedonia... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:24

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain ,.... Which he had now meditated and resolved upon, being a place, as before observed, where it is very likely the Gospel as yet had not been preached, which made him desirous of going thither; but whether he ever went thither, or not, is not certain; some think he never performed the intended journey; others affirm he did, some time between his two appearances before Nero. Sepharad, in Obadiah 1:20 , is taken by the Jewish writers for this country;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:25

But now I go unto Jerusalem ,.... Whither he was bound in spirit, not knowing what should befall him there, from which he could not be dissuaded by his friends, and thither he did go: to minister unto the saints ; not to preach the Gospel, though doubtless he did that when he was there; but to distribute among the poor saints what had been raised for them by the Greek churches; who had entreated him to take upon him this service, even the fellowship of ministering to the saints; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:26

For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia ,.... That is, the churches of Macedonia, particularly Philippi and Thessalonica; and the churches of Achaia, especially the church at Corinth, which was the metropolis of Achaia: to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem ; of which contribution, of their great forwardness, readiness, and liberality, a large account is given in 2 Corinthians 8:1 ; from whence Origen and others have rightly concluded, that... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:27

It hath pleased them verily ,.... This is repeated from the former verse, and is designed to point out the spring of this contribution, and the manner in which it was performed: it arose from themselves; it was the pure effect of their good will and pleasure; the first motion was from among themselves; it was their own thought, mind, and will; they were willing of themselves unto it, and begun it of themselves, unasked, and not moved unto it by any other: it was not done by constraint or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:28

When therefore I have performed this ,.... Meaning when he had dispatched that business, and finished that affair which the Macedonian and Achaian churches had entreated him to engage in, and which he had undertook; namely, to take their collection, and carry it to Jerusalem, and distribute it among the poor saints there; and which he expresses by another phrase, and have sealed to them this fruit . The liberality of the Gentile churches is called fruit, as it may be on many accounts; as... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Romans 15:29

And I am sure when I come to you ,.... He intended to go to Spain; he was not sure he should reach thither; but he was positive in it he should come to Rome. It had been much and long upon his mind; and under an impress of the Spirit of God upon him, he had signified some time before this, that after he had been at Jerusalem, he "must see, Rome also", Acts 19:21 , and it was afterwards more expressly told him by the Lord, that as he had testified of him at Jerusalem, he should bear witness... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:24

Whensoever I take my journey into Spain - Where it is very likely the Gospel had not yet been planted; though legendary tales inform us that St. James had planted the Gospel there long before this time, and had founded many bishoprics! But this is as unfounded as it is ridiculous and absurd; for nothing like what is now termed a bishopric, nor even a parish, was founded for many years after this. An itinerant preacher, might, with more propriety, say travelling circuits were formed, rather... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Romans 15:25

Now I go unto Jerusalem - From this and the two following verses we learn that the object of his journey to Jerusalem was, to carry a contribution made among the Gentile Christians of Macedonia and Achaia for the relief of the poor Jewish Christians at Jerusalem. About this affair he had taken great pains, as appears from 1 Corinthians 16:1-4 ; 2 Corinthians 8, and 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 . His design in this affair is very evident from 2 Corinthians 9:12 , 2 Corinthians 9:13 , where he... read more
