Acts 21:11
Compare all
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.”

Acts 21:11-14

So shall the Jews bind the man that owneth this girdle, etc.—For though the Romans did it, it was at the Jews' instigation (Acts 21:33; Acts 28:17). Such dramatic methods of announcing important future events would bring the old prophets to remembrance. (Compare Isaiah 20:2, etc.; Jeremiah 13:1, and Ezekiel 5:1, etc.). This prediction and that at Tyre (Acts 21:4) were intended, not to prohibit him from going, but to put his courage to the test and when he stood the test, to deepen and mature it.
