Hechos 21:12 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:12

And when we heard these things
These prophecies, concerning the binding of the apostle by the Jews, and the delivery of him to the Romans, and saw the symbolical representations of these things:

both we;
the companions of the apostle, Luke and the rest:

and they of that place;
of Caesarea, Philip and his daughters, and the disciples that lived there:

besought him not to go up to Jerusalem;
which was an instance of weakness in them, though an expression of their affection to the apostle; in the disciples of Caesarea it might arise from pure love to him, and a concern for his safety, and the continuance of his useful life; and in his companions it might be owing partly to their sincere love to him, and partly to the fear of danger which they themselves might conclude they should be exposed to; and this request was made with tears, as is evident from what follows.

Hechos 21:12 In-Context

10 y parando nosotros allí por muchos días, descendió de Judea un profeta, llamado Agabo

11 Y venido a nosotros, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los judíos en Jerusalén al varón de quien es este cinto, y le entregarán en manos de los gentiles

12 Lo cual como oímos, le rogamos nosotros y los de aquel lugar, que no subiera a Jerusalén

13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis llorando y afligiéndome el corazón? Porque yo no sólo estoy presto a ser atado, mas aun a morir en Jerusalén por el Nombre del Señor Jesús

14 Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor
