Acts:21:1-14

*
Now it came to pass ,
that when we had departed from them and set sail ,
running a straight course we came to Cos ,
the following day to Rhodes ,
and from there to Patara .
*
And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia ,
we went aboard and set sail .
*
When we had sighted Cyprus ,
we passed it on the left ,
sailed to Syria ,
and landed at Tyre ;
for there the ship was to unload her cargo .
*
And finding disciples ,
we stayed there seven days .
They told Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem .
*
When we had come to the end of those days ,
we departed and went on our way ;
and they all accompanied us ,
with wives and children ,
till we were out of the city .
And we knelt down on the shore and prayed .
*
When we had taken our leave of one another ,
we boarded the ship ,
and they returned home .
*
And when we had finished our voyage from Tyre ,
we came to Ptolemais ,
greeted the brethren ,
and stayed with them one day .
*
On the next day we who were Paul '
s companions departed and came to Caesarea ,
and entered the house of Philip the evangelist ,
who was one of the seven ,
and stayed with him .
*
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied .
*
And as we stayed many days ,
a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea .
*
When he had come to us ,
he took Paul '
s belt ,
bound his own hands and feet ,
and said , "
Thus says the Holy Spirit , "
So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt ,
and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles ."'
*
Now when we heard these things ,
both we and those from that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem .
*
Then Paul answered , "
What do you mean by 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 ."
*
So when he would not be persuaded ,
we ceased ,
saying , "
The will of the Lord be done ."
