Hechos 21:13

13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis, llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque listo estoy no sólo a ser atado, sino también a morir en Jerusalén por el nombre del Señor Jesús.

Hechos 21:13 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 21:13

Then Paul answered, what mean ye to weep
For they were crying about him, both his companions and the disciples of Caesarea; which affected him, and gave him great uneasiness, even more than the prophecies of Agabus did:

and to break my heart?
for though he was resolved to go to Jerusalem, and nothing could move him from it, his heart was firm as a rock; there was no shaking him, or making impressions upon him that way; yet their tears and importunity greatly afflicted him, and the more because he could by no means comply with their request:

for I am ready not to be bound only, but to die at Jerusalem for the
name of the Lord Jesus;
for as yet, he knew not but he should die there; it was revealed to him that he should be bound there, but it was not yet suggested to him where he should suffer death, whether there or elsewhere; and since he knew not but it might be there, he was ready for it; bonds were so far from distressing his mind, and deterring him from his intended journey, that death itself could not do it; which showed great intrepidity, courage, and firmness of mind.

Hechos 21:13 In-Context

11 quien vino a vernos, y tomando el cinto de Pablo, se ató las manos y los pies, y dijo: Así dice el Espíritu Santo: "Así atarán los judíos en Jerusalén al dueño de este cinto, y lo entregarán en manos de los gentiles."

12 Al escuchar esto, tanto nosotros como los que vivían allí le rogábamos que no subiera a Jerusalén.

13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis, llorando y quebrantándome el corazón? Porque listo estoy no sólo a ser atado, sino también a morir en Jerusalén por el nombre del Señor Jesús.

14 Como no se dejaba persuadir, nos callamos, diciéndonos: Que se haga la voluntad del Señor.

15 Después de estos días nos preparamos y comenzamos a subir hacia Jerusalén.
