- Romans 15:24
I hope to see you on my way to Spain. And after I have enjoyed your company for a while, you can equip me for my journey.
Commentary on Romans 15:242 voices
Into Spain - Where the gospel had not yet been preached. If first I may be somewhat satisfied with your company - How remarkable is the modesty with which he speaks!
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
"But now, having no further place in these regions, and having a desire to come to you now for many preceding years, when I set out for Spain, I hope that as I pass through I may see you, and be sent on my way there by you, when first I shall have enjoyed you in part." He seems to say these things while situated in Achaia, at Corinth, as we have already shown so far as our strength allowed in the earlier parts of the Epistle: which Achaia, of course, is neighboring and adjoining to Macedonia.

- Romans 15:28
So after I have completed this service and have safely delivered this bounty to them, I will set off to Spain by way of you.
Commentary on Romans 15:282 voices
When I have sealed to them this fruit - When I have safely delivered to them, as under seal, this fruit of their brethren's love. I will go by you into Spain - Such was his design; but it does not appear that Paul went into Spain. There are often holy purposes in the minds of good men, which are overruled by the providence of God so as never to take effect.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
One poor man, already old, preached from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum, and swiftly runs his word. Since, then, it had come from Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum, and his word had run swiftly, next it follows, and that very word which had said, From Jerusalem all the way to Illyricum, says: But I wish to go even to the Spains. This the apostle Paul speaks. See the swiftness of the word. He is not content with the east: he longs to run to the west.
Jerome· Homily 57, on Psalm 147Patristic
