A Riot in Ephesus

After summarizing how the power of Jesus was displayed in Ephesus and highlighting the power of the word in verse 20, Luke tells about the protest in Ephesus. But before we see how the gospel impacted the culture, we get two verses about Paul's travel plans (verse 21-22). This gives us a glimpse of what is to come in the book of Acts. Paul plans on returning to Jerusalem via Macedonia and Achaia. Then he hopes to fulfill his desire to preach in Rome.
