And when wee had finished our course from Tyre, wee came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

And the next day we that were of Pauls company, departed, and came vnto Cesarea, and wee entred into the house of Philip the Euangelist (which was one of the seuen) & abode with him.

And ye same man had foure daughters, virgins, which did prophesie.

And as wee taried there many dayes, there came downe from Iudea a certaine Prophet, named Agabus.

And when he was come vnto vs, he tooke Pauls girdle, and bound his owne hands and feete, and said, Thus sayth the holy Ghost, So shall the Iewes at Hierusalem binde the man that oweth this girdle, and shall deliuer him into the hands of the Gentiles.

And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place, besought him not to goe vp to Hierusalem.

Then Paul answered, What meane ye to weepe and to breake mine heart? for I am ready, not to bee bound onely, but also to die at Hierusalem for the Name of the Lord Iesus.

And when he would not bee perswaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
