Verses on His resolute determination to go to Jerusalem against the repeated admonition of the Holy Ghost

and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle--so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver him up to the hands of nations.'
And when we heard these things, we called upon him --both we, and those of that place--not to go up to Jerusalem,
and Paul answered, `What do ye--weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;'
and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, `The will of the Lord be done.'
