Acts 21:7–14

⁷But we, having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.

⁸And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.

⁹And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.

¹⁰And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

¹¹Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹²Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.

¹³Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
