Acts 21:7-12 New English Translation (NET)

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

8. On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9. (He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.)

10. While we remained there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11. He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it, and said, “The Holy Spirit says this: ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’”

12. When we heard this, both we and the local people begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
