Acts 21:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ He came to us and ·borrowed [took] Paul’s belt and used it to tie his own hands and feet. He said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will ·tie up [or bind (in chains)] the man ·who wears this belt [^Lwhose belt this is]. Then they will ·give [deliver; hand over; betray] him to the Gentiles.’”

¹² When we all heard this, we and the people there ·begged [encouraged; urged; pleaded with] Paul not to go to Jerusalem. ¹³ But he ·said [^Lresponded], “Why are you crying and ·making me so sad [^Lbreaking my heart]? I am not only ready to be ·tied up [or bound; imprisoned] in Jerusalem, I am ready to die for the [^Lname of the] Lord Jesus!”
