¹⁴ And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done.

¹⁵ And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁵ And after these days, having got our effects ready, we went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶ And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, bringing with them a certain Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

¹⁷ And when we arrived at Jerusalem the brethren gladly received us.

¹² Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.

¹³ Then Paul answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁴ And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.

¹³ Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴ And when he remained unpersuaded, we were silent and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁵ Now after those days, having prepared, we went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a long-standing disciple, with whom we would stay as a guest.

¹⁷ And when we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us.

¹² Well, when we heard these things, both we and the local residents, we pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.

¹³ But 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.”

¹⁴ When he would not be dissuaded, we stopped, saying, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁵ So after those days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to a certain Mnason, of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we were to lodge.

¹⁷ And when we arrived in Jerusalem the brothers received us gladly.

¹³ However, Paul answered, “What are you doing, crying and breaking my heart? I'm ready not only to be bound in Jerusalem, but to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴ Since he couldn't be persuaded otherwise we gave up, and said, “May the Lord's will be done.”

¹⁵ After this we packed our bags and headed for Jerusalem.

¹⁶ Some of the believers from Caesarea came with us, and they took us to the home of Mnason, where we were going to stay. He came from Cyprus and was one of the early believers.

¹³ It was then that Paul made the reply, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart like this? For my part, I am ready not only to be bound, but even to suffer death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

¹⁴ So, as he would not be persuaded, we said no more to him, only adding — “The Lord's will be done.”

¹³ But Paul said, “Hey, stop crying and trying to make me change my mind. Stop telling me not to go to Jerusalem. I work for our leader Jesus, so I’m happy for people to put me in prison in Jerusalem, and I’m even happy for them to kill me.”

¹⁴ We tried to tell Paul not to go to Jerusalem, but he wouldn’t listen to us, so we stopped trying to tell him. We just said, “All right, we will be happy for our leader, Jesus, to do whatever he wants to do.”

¹⁵ After a few days we got ready and left Caesarea, and we went to Jerusalem.
