Acts 21:8-15

8The next day we left and came to Caesarea, where we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven, and stayed with him.

9This man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10After we had been there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own feet and hands, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him over to the Gentiles.’”

12When we heard this, both we and the local people pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

14Since he would not be persuaded, we said no more except, “The Lord’s will be done.”

15After this we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
