Acts 21:8-15

8On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.

10While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

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

12When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

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

14And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "Let the will of the Lord be done."

15After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
