10. While we were remaining there for some time, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11. And coming to [see] us, he took Paul's belt and with it bound his own feet and hands and said, Thus says the Holy Spirit: The Jews at Jerusalem shall bind like this the man who owns this belt, and they shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles (heathen).
12. When we heard this, both we and the residents of that place pleaded with him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13. Then Paul replied, What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart like this? For I hold myself in readiness not only to be arrested and bound and imprisoned at Jerusalem, but also [even] to die for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14. And when he would not yield to [our] persuading, we stopped [urging and imploring him], saying, The Lord's will be done!
15. After these days we packed our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16. And some of the disciples from Caesarea came with us, conducting us to the house of Mnason, a man from Cyprus, one of the disciples of long standing, with whom we were to lodge.
