Acts 21:7-22

⁷And when we had ended the course from Tyrus, we arriued at Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

⁸And the next day, Paul and we that were with him, departed, and came vnto Cesarea: and we entred into the house of Philippe the Euangelist, which was one of the seuen Deacons, and abode with him.

⁹Now he had foure daughters virgins, which did prophecie.

¹⁰And as we taried there many dayes, there came a certaine Prophet from Iudea, named Agabus.

¹¹And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and sayd, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.

¹²And when we had heard these things, both we and other of the same place besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem.

¹³Then Paul answered, and sayd, What doe ye weeping and breaking mine heart? For I am ready not to be bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.

¹⁴So when he would not be perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁵And after those dayes we trussed vp our fardels, and went vp to Hierusalem.

¹⁶There went with vs also certaine of the disciples of Cesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an olde disciple, with whome we should lodge.

¹⁷And when we were come to Hierusalem, the brethren receiued vs gladly.

¹⁸And the next day Paul went in with vs vnto Iames: and all the Elders were there assembled.

¹⁹And when he had embraced them, hee tolde by order all things, that God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministration.

²⁰So when they heard it, they glorified God, and sayd vnto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousand Iewes there are which beleeue, and they are all zealous of the Law:

²¹Now they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Iewes, which are among the Gentiles, to forsake Moses, and sayest that they ought not to circumcise their sonnes, neither to liue after the customes.

²²What is then to be done? the multitude must needes come together: for they shall heare that thou art come.
