What Does Acts 21:19 Mean?
Having greeted the elders, Paul recounts in detail the things God had accomplished among the Gentiles through his ministry. He gives a full account of churches planted and lives changed across the Roman world.
Notice the shape of his report: he tells what God had wrought, not what he himself had achieved. The mighty labors of Paul are described as the work of God through him. This is the humility of a true servant, who knows that every fruit of ministry is the Lord's doing and gladly gives Him the glory.
