7 And when we had finished our course, from Tyre we came down to Ptolomais: and after that we had saluted the brethren, we abode with them one day. 8 And on the morrow we which were with Paul, departed and came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the Evangelist, which was one of the seven we abode with him. 9 And this man had four daughters virgins which did prophesy. 10 And when we abode many days, there came a certain prophet from Jury named Agabus. 11 When he was come to us, he took Paul his girdle, and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the holy ghost, The man which oweth this girdle, shall the Jews thus bind at Jerusalem, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 12 And when we had heard these things, both we and also the rest which were of that place requested him, that he would not go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered and said, What do you weeping and afflicting my heart? I truly am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the ⟨p. 495⟩name of the Lord Jesus. 14 And when he would not be persuaded, we were quiet, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
