Deeds (Act) of Apostles 21:10-23

¹⁰And when we dwelled there some days, a prophet, Agabus by name, came over from Judea.

¹¹This when he came to us, took the girdle of Paul, and bound together his feet and hands, and said, The Holy Ghost saith these things, Thus the Jews shall bind in Jerusalem the man, whose is this girdle; and they shall betake him into heathen men’s hands.

¹²Which thing when we heard, we prayed, and they that were of that place, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

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

¹⁴And when we might not counsel him, we were still, and said, The will of the Lord be done.

¹⁵And after these days we were made ready, and went up to Jerusalem.

¹⁶And some of the disciples came with us from Caesarea, and led with them a man, Jason of Cyprus, an old disciple, at whom we should be harboured.

¹⁷And when we came to Jerusalem, brethren received us willfully.

¹⁸And in the day pursuing, Paul entered with us to James, and all the elder men were gathered.

¹⁹Which when he had greeted, he told by all things, what things God had done in heathen men, by the ministry of him.

²⁰And when they heard, they mag-nified God, and said to him, Brother, thou seest how many thousands be in Jews, that have believed to God, and all be lovers or pursuers of the law.

²¹And they heard of thee, that thou teachest departing from Moses of those Jews that be by heathen men, that say, that they owe not to circumcise their sons, neither owe to enter by or after custom.

²²Therefore what is this? It behooveth that the multitude come together; for they shall hear, that thou art come.

²³Therefore do thou this thing, that we say to thee. There be to us four men, that have a vow on them.
