When we heard this, both we and others of the same place, besought him, that he would not go up to Jerusalem. read more.
Then Paul answered, and said, "What do ye weeping, and breaking mine heart? I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." When we could not turn his mind, we ceased, saying, "The will of the Lord be fulfilled."

And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, and know not what shall come on me there, but that the holy ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and trouble abide me.
