⁸On 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.
⁹Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
¹⁰As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
¹¹Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
¹²When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
¹³Then 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.”
¹⁴When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
¹⁵After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
¹⁶Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
