Acts 21:7-14

7And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

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

9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”

12Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13Then Paul answered, “What do you mean by 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.”

14So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
