22. Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;

23. except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

4. Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to PAUL through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5. When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

6. After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

7. When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.

8. On the next day, we, who were PAUL's companions, departed, and came to Caesarea.We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9. Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10. As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11. Coming to us, and taking PAUL's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"

12. When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13. Then PAUL answered, "What are you doing, 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. When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
