Acts 21:8-15

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

9(He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.)

10While we remained there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it, and said, “The Holy Spirit says this: ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”

12When we heard this, both we and the local people begged 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 tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

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

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