Acts 21:7-14

Lexham English Bible

⁷ And when^[a] we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. And after we^[b] greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them. ⁸ And on the next day we departed and^[c] came to Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and^[d] stayed with him. ⁹ (Now this man had^[e] four virgin daughters who prophesied.)

¹⁰ And while we^[f] were staying there^[g] many days, a certain prophet named^[h] Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ And he came to us and took Paul’s belt. Tying up his own feet and hands, he said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him^[i] into the hands of the Gentiles.’” ¹² And when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul replied, “What are you doing weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus!” ¹⁴ And because^[j] he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”
