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!” 14And because* he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”

15So after these days we got ready and* went up to Jerusalem.
