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 Se acercó, tomó el cinturón de Pablo y se ató los pies y las manos. Luego dijo: «El Espíritu Santo declara: “De esta forma será atado el dueño de este cinturón por los líderes judíos en Jerusalén y entregado a los gentiles
”».

12 Cuando lo oímos, tanto nosotros como los creyentes del lugar le suplicamos a Pablo que no fuera a Jerusalén.

13 Pero él dijo: «¿Por qué todo este llanto? ¡Me parten el corazón! Yo estoy dispuesto no solo a ser encarcelado en Jerusalén, sino incluso a morir por el Señor Jesús».

14 Al ver que era imposible convencerlo, nos dimos por vencidos y dijimos: «Que se haga la voluntad del Señor».

15 Pablo llega a Jerusalén
Después de esto, empacamos nuestras cosas y salimos hacia Jerusalén.
