Paul in Caesarea: Meeting Philip

Acts 21:8-14

And the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.

And he had four daughters, virgins, who did prophesy.

And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

Who, when he was come to us, took Paul's girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place desired him that he would not go up to Jerusalem.

Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.

And when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
