Context:

Acts 21:10: "And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus."

V. 11: "And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles."

V. 12: "And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem."

V. 13: "Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

V. 14: "And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done."

The Prophet Agabus prophesied that Paul would be bound and delivered to the Gentiles if he went to Jerusalem. Paul's fellow Disciples, Apostles and Saints in the faith, pleaded for Paul not to go to Jerusalem. For they cared for his safety. But Paul didn't care. He was *PREPARED TO DIE* if necessary, for the sake of JESUS CHRIST!
