Passage: Acts 21:8-15 (RSV)


Acts 21


8On the morrow we departed and came to Caesare'a; and we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9And he had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied.
10While we were staying for some days, a prophet named Ag'abus came down from Judea.
11And coming to us he took Paul's girdle and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, `So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this girdle and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
12When we heard this, we and the people there begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
14And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, "The will of the Lord be done."
15After these days we made ready and went up to Jerusalem.
