Agabus Warns Paul

⁸The next day, we who were Paul's companions departed and came to Caesarea. We went to the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. ⁹He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. ¹⁰While we were staying there for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹He came to us, took Paul's belt, and tied his own hands and feet with it. Then he said, "The Holy Spirit says this: 'In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.'" ¹²When we heard this, both we and the local people pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." ¹⁴Since he would not be persuaded, we stopped urging him and said, "The will of the Lord be done."
