Acts 21:7-14

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

When Paul Arrives In Caesarea, Agabas The Prophet Foretells Imprisonment

⁷ And we, having completed^[a] the voyage from Tyre, arrived in Ptolemais. And having greeted the brothers, we stayed with them one day. ⁸ And having gone-out on the next day, we came to Caesarea. And having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist (being one of the seven^[b]), we stayed with him ⁹ (and this one had four virgin daughters prophesying!). ¹⁰ And while we were staying-on for more days, a certain prophet from Judea, Agabus by name, came down. ¹¹ And having come to us, and having taken Paul’s belt, having bound his own feet and hands, he said, “These things says the Holy Spirit: ‘In this manner the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and hand him over into the hands of the Gentiles’”. ¹² And when we heard these things, both we and the local-residents were begging that he not be going up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul responded, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus”. ¹⁴ And he not being persuaded, we were quiet, having said, “Let the Lord’s will be done”.
