Acts 21:8-18

8 On the next day we left and came to ¹Caesarea, and entering the house of ²Philip the ³evangelist, who was ⁴one of the seven, we stayed with him.

9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who were ⁵prophetesses.

10 As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named ⁶Agabus came down from Judea.

11 And coming to us, he ⁷took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This ⁸is what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will ⁹bind the man who owns this belt and ¹⁰deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' "

12 When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him ¹¹not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For ¹²I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for ¹³the name of the Lord Jesus."

14 And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, remarking, "¹⁴The will of the Lord be done!"

Paul at Jerusalem

15 After these days we got ready and ¹⁵started on our way up to Jerusalem.

16 Some of ¹⁶the disciples from ¹⁷Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of ¹⁸Cyprus, a ¹⁹disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

17 After we arrived in Jerusalem, ²⁰the brethren received us gladly.

18 And the following day Paul went in with us to ²¹James, and all ²²the elders were present.
