Acts 21 · Grade 3
Ready for the Lord Jesus
Read the Story
Paul and his friends sailed toward Jerusalem. At Tyre the disciples told Paul through the Spirit not to go. When it was time to leave, they all knelt on the beach and prayed.
At Caesarea they stayed with Philip. A prophet named Agabus took Paul's belt and tied his own hands and feet. He said Paul would be bound like that in Jerusalem. Everyone begged Paul not to go.
Paul said he was ready to be tied up for the name of the Lord Jesus. When he would not change his mind, they said, "The Lord's will be done."
In Jerusalem the brothers received Paul gladly. He told them what God had done among the Gentiles. Later some people stirred up a crowd in the temple. They grabbed Paul and beat him. The commander and soldiers came and rescued him. Paul asked to speak to the people.
