5 When we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city. And awe knelt down on the shore and prayed.
6 When we had taken our leave of one another, we boarded the ship, and they returned ahome.
7 And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.
8 On the next day we1 who were Paul’s companions departed and came to aCaesarea, and entered the house of Philip bthe evangelist, cwho was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters awho prophesied.
10 And as we stayed many days, a certain prophet named aAgabus came down from Judea.
11 When he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, a‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ”
12 Now when we heard these things, both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, a“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.”
14 So when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, a“The will of the Lord be done.”
Paul Urged to Make Peace
15 And after those days we1 packed and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.
