Acts 21:8

Acts 21:8

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.
