Acts 19:21 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Acts 19:21

19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20 ^aSo the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

The Riot at Ephesus

21 ^aWhen these things were accomplished, Paul ^bpurposed in the Spirit, when he had passed through ^cMacedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, ^dI must also see Rome.”

22 So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, ^aTimothy and ^bErastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time.

23 And ^aabout that time there arose a great commotion about ^bthe Way.

24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of¹ Diana, brought ^ano small profit to the craftsmen.

Acts 19:21-22

After these things were ended—completed, implying something like a natural finish to his long period of labor at Ephesus.

Paul purposed . . . when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem . . . After I have been there, I must also see Rome—Mark here the vastness of the apostle's missionary plans. They were all fulfilled, though he "saw Rome" only as a prisoner.
