Paul was determined to follow the Lord's call to go to Jerusalem. Choosing to take the faster sea route to get back from what is now Greece and Turkey (Acts 21:1-3), he also avoided the protracted social conversations and hospitality invitations, which are still part of the culture of that area. Although those interactions may well have been gospel opportunities, he knew that the Lord had called him to Jerusalem for the next phase of his ministry – to kings and eventually to Caesar (Acts 27:24).
