8 And the next daye, they that were of Paules companie departed, and came vnto Cesarea: And we entred into the house of Philip the Euangelist (which was one of the seuen) and abode with hym. 9 And the same man had foure daughters, virgins, which dyd prophesie. 10 And as we taryed there a good many of dayes, there came a certaine prophete from Iurie, named Agabus. 11 And when he was come vnto vs, he toke Paules girdle, & bounde his owne handes and feete, & sayde: Thus sayth the holy ghost, so shall the Iewes at Hierusalem bynde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall delyuer hym into the handes of the gentiles. 12 And when we hearde these thynges, both we and other whiche were of the same place, besought him that he would not go vp to Hierusalem. 13 Then Paule aunswered: What do ye weepyng and vexyng myne heart? For I am redy, not to be bounde only, but also to dye at Hierusalem for the name of the Lorde Iesu. 14 And when we coulde not turne his mynde, we ceassed, saying: the wyll of the Lorde be fulfylled.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when we heard these things,.... These prophecies, concerning the binding of the apostle by the Jews, and the delivery of him to the Romans, and saw the symbolical representations of these things:

both we; the companions of the apostle, Luke and the rest:

and they of that place; of Caesarea, Philip and his daughters, and the disciples that lived there:

besought him not to go up to Jerusalem; which was an instance of weakness in them, though an expression of their affection to the apostle; in the disciples of Caesarea it might arise from pure love to him, and a concern for his safety, and the continuance of his useful life; and in his companions it might be owing partly to their sincere love to him, and partly to the fear of danger which they themselves might conclude they should be exposed to; and this request was made with tears, as is evident from what follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Acts 21:12. Besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. — For they all understood the prophecy to be conditional and contingent; and that it was in Paul's power to turn the scale.
