Acts 21 · Grade 4
For the Name of the Lord Jesus
Read and Think
Paul and his companions sailed to Tyre and stayed seven days. The disciples told Paul through the Spirit not to go to Jerusalem. When they left, the disciples, with their wives and children, knelt on the beach and prayed.
At Caesarea they stayed with Philip the evangelist, who had four daughters who prophesied. The prophet Agabus took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands. He said the Holy Spirit showed that the owner of this belt would be bound in Jerusalem and handed over to the Gentiles.
Everyone begged Paul not to go. Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus." When he would not be persuaded, they said, "The Lord's will be done."
In Jerusalem the brothers received them gladly. Paul reported one by one what God had done among the Gentiles, and they glorified God. In the temple, some stirred up the crowd, seized Paul, and dragged him out. They were trying to kill him, but the commanding officer and soldiers ran down. The officer bound Paul with chains, and Paul asked permission to speak to the people.
