Gevurot 21:12-14

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹² And when we heard these things, we were begging Rav Sha’ul, both we and the locals, not to make any aliyah (ascent) to Yerushalayim.

¹³ Then Rav Sha’ul answered, "What are you doing weeping and breaking my lev (heart)? For I am prepared not only to be bound but to die al kiddush ha-Shem in Yerushalayim, for haShem of the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua."

¹⁴ And not persuading him, we remained silent, having said, "Let the ratzon Hashem be done."
