Acts 21
Once again, I didn't pull out a specific verse. But, I am fascinated with what a "super-hero" Paul is. He just amazes me with his faith and mission. First he is told that he will be bound and beaten. His response? ......I don't care.....I'm ready for whatever God brings my way. WOW! Then he incites a riot just by his presence and is probably almost torn apart by the angry mob in Jerusalem. And what is his response to the infuriated people? He begs the commander to address the people. THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TRYING TO RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB! And you want to talk to them? Again, WOW!

I didn't have a specific verse either. He is so incredibly clear about his purpose on earth, it is not about anything he might want but using his limited time on earth to do whatever God asks of him. He is dialed in directly to God, he appears to have zero doubt, just pure faith and trust. I'd say a pretty good hero.
