Acts 21:13-15

J.B. Phillips New Testament

We all warn Paul, but he is immovable

^12-13 When we heard him say this, we and the people there begged Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. Then Paul answered us, “What do you mean by unnerving me with all your tears? I am perfectly prepared not only to be bound but to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴ Since he could not be dissuaded all we could do was to say, “May the Lord’s will be done,” and hold our tongues.

Paul is warmly welcomed at first

¹⁵ After this we made our preparations and went up to Jerusalem.
