And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais and saluted the brethren, and stayed with them one day.

The next day, we who were in Paul’s company departed and came unto Caesarea, and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and lodged with him.

And this man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.

10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judea a certain prophet named Agabus.

11 And when he had come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle and bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus saith the Holy Ghost, ‘So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

12 And when we heard these things, both we and those at that place besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 Then Paul answered, “What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? For I am not only ready to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

14 And when he would not be dissuaded, we ceased, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”

12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die(K) in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”(L) 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up(M) and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”(N)
