As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judea.
11
Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
12
When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged 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 also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14

15
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
