After these things had happened This phrase sets the stage for a transition in the narrative. The "things" refer to the events in Ephesus, including the significant impact of Paul's ministry there, which led to a public burning of magic books and a notable shift in the local economy and religious practices. The Greek word "ginomai" (γίνομαι) implies a sequence of events that have reached a point of completion, suggesting that Paul's work in Ephesus had achieved its intended purpose. This context highlights the dynamic and transformative power of the Gospel, as it disrupts and reorients societal norms and personal lives. Paul resolved in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem passing through Macedonia and Achaia 'After I have been there,' he said, 'I must see Rome as well.' We learn from the First Epistle to the Corinthians what were the chief antecedents of this purpose. There had been intercourse, we may believe, more or less frequent, with the churches of both Macedonia and Achaia during the two years which St. Paul had spent at Ephesus; and there was much to cause anxiety. It had been necessary for him to send a letter, not extant, to warn the Corinthians against their besetting impurity (1Corinthians 5:9). The slaves or freed-men of Chloe had brought tidings of schisms, and incestuous adulteries, and grave disorders in ritual and discipline. (See Introduction to the First Epistle to the Corinthians.) These things called for the Apostle's presence. With these was joined another purpose. He wished to revisit Jerusalem, and to appear there as the bearer of a munificent contribution from the Gentile churches to the suffering church of the Hebrews.
