Paul's Voyage to Jerusalem

Acts 21:1-16

21
Chapter 21
1 When we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 Finding a ship sailing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we had sighted Cyprus and left it to the left, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload its cargo. 4 But having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. They were saying to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5 But when our days there had been completed, we went out. All of them, with their wives and children, accompanied us outside the city. We knelt down on the seashore and prayed. 6 We kissed each other, and we went aboard the ship, but they returned to their own things. 7 But we, having completed the voyage from Tyre, arrived at Ptolemais, greeted the brothers, and remained one day with them. 8 The next day we left and came to Caesarea. We entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now he had four daughters, virgins who prophesied. 10 But while they were staying more days, someone came down from Judea, a prophet named Agabus. 11 He came to us, took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘The man whose this belt is, the Jews will thus bind in Jerusalem and will hand over into the hands of the nations.’” 12 When we heard these things, we and the locals begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and crushing my heart? For I am not only ready to be bound but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." 14 Since he would not be persuaded, we fell silent, saying, "The Lord's will be done." 15 But after these days we prepared and went up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to the home of Mnason, a Cypriot and an old disciple, with whom we were to be hosted.
