Paul In Caesarea

12 When we heard this, we and the people there all begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by crying and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound at Jerusalem but to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus." 14 So as he would not yield, we gave up urging him, and said, "The Lord's will be done!"
