Later, while reflecting on the trying experiences of the day, Paul began to fear that his course might not have been pleasing to God. Could it be that he had made a mistake after all in visiting Jerusalem? Had his great desire to be in union with his brethren led to this disastrous result?

Da Paulus senere overvejede de prøvende oplevelser på denne dag, begyndte han at ængstes for, om hans fremgangsmåde ikke skulle have behaget Gud. Havde det trods alt været en fejltagelse af ham at besøge Jerusalem? Var det hans store ønske om at være i samfund med brødrene, der havde ført til dette katastrofale resultat?
