Acts 21:7-14

New Matthew Bible

⁷ When we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we went on to Ptolemais and greeted the brethren, and stayed with them one day. ⁸ The next day, we who were of Paul’s company departed and went to Caesarea. And we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven deacons, and stayed with him. ⁹ This man had four daughters, virgins who prophesied.

¹⁰ And while we tarried there a good many days, there came a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus. ¹¹ When he had come to us, he took Paul’s girdle and bound his hands and feet, and said, Thus says the Holy Spirit: in this manner the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man that owns this girdle, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹² When we heard this, both we and others of the same place besought Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul answered and said, What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ When we could not turn his mind, we gave up, saying, May the will of the Lord be fulfilled.
