TWO JOURNEY'S TO JERUSALEM

Scholars have notice parallels between Paul’s journey to Jerusalem and Jesus going to Jerusalem. Longenecker list these parallels:[1]
  • A similar plot by the Jews (Acts 20:3 cf. Luke 22:1-2)
  • A handing over to the Gentiles (Acts 21:11 cf. Luke 23:1, 11)
  • A triple prediction on the way to suffering (Acts 20:22-24; 21:4, 10-11 cf. Luke 9:22, 44; 18:21-34).
  • A steadfast resolution to go (Acts 21:13 cf. Luke 9:51).
  • A holy resignation to God’s will (Acts 21:14 cf. Luke 22:42).
