Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Acts 20:22-23

_ _ And now, behold, I — “I” is emphatic here.

_ _ bound in the spirit — compare Acts 19:21. This internal pressure, unattended with any knowledge of “what was to befall him there,” was the result of that higher guidance which shaped all his movements.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Acts 20:17-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Acts 20:22

Bound by the Spirit — Strongly impelled by him.

(7) He testifies that he goes to his imprisonment by the commandment of God.

(e) He calls the guiding direction of the Holy Spirit, who forced him to take his journey to Jerusalem, the bond of the Sprit, whom he followed with all his heart.
