Context of Romans 15:24
22Wherefore also I was hindered these many times from coming to you: 23but now, having no more any place in these regions, and having these many years a longing to come unto you, whensoever I go unto Spain (for I hope to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first in some measure I shall have been satisfied with your company)— 25but now, I say, I go unto Jerusalem, ministering unto the saints. 26For it hath been the good pleasure of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor among the saints that are at Jerusalem.

Commentaries on Romans 15:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Whensoever 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…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24Whensoever I take my journey into Spain - Ancient Spain comprehended the modern kingdoms of Spain and Portugal, or the whole of the Spanish peninsula. It was then subject to the Romans. It is remarkable, even here, that the apostle does not say that his principal object was to visit the church at Rome, much as he desired that, but only to “take it in his way” in the fulfillment of his higher purpose to preach the gospel in regions where Christ was not…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-29Verses 22-29 The apostle sought the things of Christ more than his own will, and would not leave his work of planting churches to go to Rome. It concerns all to do that first which is most needful. We must not take it ill if our friends prefer work which is pleasing to God, before visits and compliments, which may please us. It is justly expected from all Christians, that they should promote every good work, especially that blessed work, the conversion of…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24I hope to see you on my way to Spain: In Paul’s time, "Spain" referred to the whole Iberian Peninsula, which includes modern Spain and Portugal. The Romans had controlled parts of this region since 200 BC. However, it became an organized Roman province only during Paul’s lifetime. Paul viewed Spain, at the western edge of the Mediterranean world, as the final stage of his mission. Through this mission, he believed he was fulfilling Isaiah 66:19–20. you…Read the comment
