Acts 21:1-16 - Paul Travels On To Jerusalem
1 And it happened when it was time to sail, we having been torn away from them, running direct we came to Cos; and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail. 3 And sighting Cyprus, and leaving it on the left, we sailed into Syria, and came down to Tyre. For the ship was to unload its cargo there. 4 And finding disciples, we stayed there seven days; who said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 5 But when it was time to finish the days, going out, we traveled on. And they with all the women and children went with us as far as outside the city. And we kneeled down on the shore and prayed. 6 And giving parting greetings to one another, we went up into the ship; and they returned to their own things.
7 And finishing the voyage from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais. And greeting the brothers, we stayed with them one day. 8 And the next day those around him going out, Paul came to Caesarea. And entering the house of Philip the evangelist, he being of the seven, we stayed with him. 9 And there were four virgin daughters to this one, who prophesied.
10 And as we stayed more days, a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus came down. 11 And coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, and binding his hands and feet, he said, The Holy Spirit says these things: So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him into the hands of the nations. 12 And when we heard these things, both we and those of the place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Then 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.
14 And he not being persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
15 And after those days, making ready, we went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing Mnason, a certain Cypriot, an old disciple with whom we were to lodge.
