In my text you have three things which are most remarkable- First, You have Paul's commemoration of that singular experience that he had of the favorable presence of Christ with him, and of his strengthening of him. Secondly, Here is the end for which the Lord stood by him, assisted, strengthened, and delivered him, namely-that he might preach the gospel to the nations. Thirdly, Here is the greatness of the danger from which he was delivered, namely, "I was delivered from the lion's mouth."
