Paul wanted to go to Jerusalem. A prophet named Agabus tied his own hands and feet with Paul's belt and said, “This is what will happen to Paul in Jerusalem.”
Paul's friends cried and begged, “Please don't go!”
Paul said, “Why are you crying? I'm ready to go to jail, or even die, for Jesus.” His friends said, “Okay. Let God's will be done.”
