It
"After several days of visiting, a prophet from Judea by the name of
Agabus came down to see us. He went right up to Paul, took Paul's
belt, and, in a dramatic gesture, tied himself up, hands and feet. He
said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: The Jews in Jerusalem are
going to tie up the man who owns this belt just like this and hand him
over to godless unbelievers."
When we heard that, we and everyone there that day begged Paul not to
be stubborn and persist in going to Jerusalem. But Paul wouldn't
budge: "Why all this hysteria? Why do you insist on making a scene and
making it even harder for me? You're looking at this backward. The
issue in Jerusalem is not what they do to me, whether arrest or
murder, but what the Master Jesus does through my obedience. Can't you
see that?" Acts 21
