Acts 21:4, 10-12

Acts 21:4 AMP

After looking up the disciples [in Tyre], we stayed there [with them] seven days; and they kept telling Paul through the [Holy] Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem.

Acts 21:10-12 AMP

As we were staying there for some time, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. And coming to [see] us, he took Paul’s [wide] band (belt, sash) and bound his own feet and hands, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this same way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this band, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles (pagans).’ ” Now when we had heard this, both we and the local residents began pleading with Paul trying to persuade him not to go up to Jerusalem.
