Acts 21:10–18
10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.↗
11Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”↗
12When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place 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 bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”↗
14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”↗
15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.↗
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.↗
17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.↗
18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.↗
