Acts 21:8-18
New International Version
Acts 21:8-18
New International Version
8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea(A) and stayed at the house of Philip(B) the evangelist,(C) one of the Seven. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.(D)
10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus(E) came down from Judea. 11 Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says,(F) ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind(G) the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”(H)
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(I) in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”(J) 14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up(K) and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”(L)
15 After this, we started on our way up to Jerusalem.(M) 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea(N) accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus(O) and one of the early disciples.
Paul’s Arrival at Jerusalem
17 When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters(P) received us warmly.(Q) 18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James,(R) and all the elders(S) were present.
Acts 21:8-18
King James Version
Acts 21:8-18
King James Version
8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
11 And when he was 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 that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of 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 ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
