When our days there were ended, we left and proceeded on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, escorted us outside the city. There we knelt down on the beach and prayed
6
and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.
7
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the believers and stayed with them for one day.
8
The next day we left and came to Caesarea; and we went into the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9
He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy.
10
While we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11
He came to us and took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, "This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.' "
12
When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13
Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14
Since he would not be persuaded, we remained silent except to say, "The Lord's will be done."
15
After these days we got ready and started to go up to Jerusalem.
