Romans 15:23,24 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But now, having no more place in these parts Where Christ has now been preached in every city; and having a great desire On various accounts; to come to you I will attempt to put it in execution. Whensoever At whatever time; I take my journey into Spain Greek, εαν πορευομαι εις την Σπανιαν, if I go into Spain; I will come to you Namely, if God shall so permit. But this zealous design, it seems, was hindered by his imprisonment. It appears probable, from hence, considering the principle that Paul chose to govern himself by, of not building on another man's foundation, that no apostle had yet planted any church in Spain. For I trust I hope; to see you in my journey thither But he was not assured hereof by any divine revelation. Indeed this, among other instances, is a proof that, in speaking of what he meant to do afterward, the apostle did not make known any determinations of God revealed to him by the Spirit, but his own resolutions and opinions only. For there is no evidence that he ever went to Spain. And be brought on my way thitherward by you By some of your church; if first I be somewhat filled Satisfied and refreshed; with your company Your society and fellowship. The Greek is only, with you. How remarkable is the modesty with which he speaks! They might rather desire to be satisfied with his company. He says, somewhat satisfied, intimating the shortness of his stay, or perhaps that the presence of Christ alone can thoroughly satisfy the soul.
