First, He tells them that he had constantly preached amongst them, notwithstanding all the afflictions which encountered him (v. 19.) Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, with many tears, and temptations which befell me through the lying in wait of the Jews. Secondly, He vindicates himself by telling them the matter of his preaching, (v. 20.)
