And, as we tarried there several days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, Agabus by name. And, coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, binding his own feet and hands, he said, "Thus saith the Holy Spirit, so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this girdle, and shall deliver him up into the hands of the gentiles. And, when we heard these things, both we and those of that place were beseeching him not to go up to Jerusalem. read more.
Then Paul answered, "What are ye doing, weeping and crushing my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus." And, when he would not be persuaded, we were silent, saying, "The will of the Lord be done."

And, now, behold, I, bound by the Spirit, am going to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there; except that the Holy Spirit testifieth to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.
