Acts 21:7–14

⁷And when we had finished the voyage from ^aTyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting ^bthe brothers, we stayed with them for a day.

⁸And on the next day we left and came to ^aCaesarea, and entering the house of ^bPhilip the ^cevangelist, who was ^done of the seven, we stayed with him.

⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who ^aprophesied.

¹⁰And as we were staying there for some days, a prophet named ^aAgabus came down from Judea.

¹¹And coming to us, he ^atook Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, “This ^bis what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will ^cbind the man who owns this belt and ^ddeliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

¹²And when we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him ^anot to go up to Jerusalem.

¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, crying and breaking my heart? For ^aI am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for ^bthe name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴And since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, saying, “^aThe will of the Lord be done!”
