12The rest of us heard him say that, then we all talked really strongly to Paul. We said, “Please don’t go to Jerusalem.”
13But 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.”
14We 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.”
15After a few days we got ready and left Caesarea, and we went to Jerusalem.
16Some of the Christians from Caesarea went with us too. They took us to stay in the house of a man called Mnason. He was from Cyprus Island. He was a Christian for a long time. He became a Christian when people were first starting to hear the message about Jesus.
17After we arrived in Jerusalem the Christians there were happy to see us and say hello to us.
18The next day Paul went to talk with a Christian leader called James, and we went with him. All of the other Christian leaders in Jerusalem were there too.
19Paul said hello to them, and then he told them about all of the things that God helped him do in the countries of the people that are not Jews.
20After they heard his story, James and the other leaders said, “Thank you God. You are great.” Then they said to Paul, “Listen, Brother, there are thousands of Jewish people here that believe in Jesus, and they are very careful to do everything in the law that Moses gave us.
