22Wherefore also I have been often hindered from coming to you. 23But now, having no longer place in these regions, and having great desire to come to you these many years, whenever I should go to Spain; (for I hope to see you as I go through, and by you to be set forward thither, if first I shall have been in part filled with your company;) 25but now I go to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; 26for Macedonia and Achaia have been well pleased to make a certain contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.

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.

- 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 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.
