Acts 21:7-15

English Standard Version

⁷ When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and we greeted ^(A)the brothers^[a] and stayed with them for one day. ⁸ On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of ^(B)Philip ^(C)the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. ⁹ He had four unmarried daughters, ^(D)who prophesied. ¹⁰ While we were staying for many days, a prophet named ^(E)Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ And coming to us, he ^(F)took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, ^(G)“Thus says the Holy Spirit, ^(H)‘This is how the Jews^[b] at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and ^(I)deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’” ¹² When we heard this, we and the people there ^(J)urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered, ^(K)“What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For ^(L)I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem ^(M)for the name of the Lord Jesus.” ¹⁴ And since he would not be persuaded, ^(N)we ceased and said, ^(O)“Let the will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁵ After these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
