⁷And when^* we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. And after we^* greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them. ⁸And on the next day we departed and^* came to Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and^* stayed with him. ⁹(Now this man had^b four virgin daughters who prophesied.)

¹⁰And while we^* were staying there^* many days, a certain prophet named^c Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹And he came to us and took Paul’s belt. Tying up his own feet and hands, he said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him^* into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ” ¹²And when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged 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!” ¹⁴And because^* he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
