Acts 21:15

Acts 21:15

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.

17 ^aAnd when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18 On the following day Paul went in with us to ^aJames, and all the elders were present.
