Acts 21:8-14

New American Standard Bible

⁸ On the next day we left and came to ^(A)Caesarea, and we entered the house of ^(B)Philip the ^(C)evangelist, who was ^(D)one of the seven, and stayed with him. ⁹ Now this man had four virgin daughters who were ^(E)prophetesses. ¹⁰ As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named ^(F)Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹ And he came to us and ^(G)took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, “This ^(H)is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will ^(I)bind the man who owns this belt and ^(J)hand him over to the Gentiles.’” ¹² When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him ^(K)not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³ Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For ^(L)I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for ^(M)the name of the Lord Jesus.” ¹⁴ And since he would not be persuaded, we became quiet, remarking, “^(N)The will of the Lord be done!”
