Paul Goes to Jerusalem

8 On the next day we departed and came to Caesarea, and we entered the house of y Philip z the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 He had four unmarried daughters, a who prophesied. 10 While we were staying for many days, a prophet named b Agabus came down from Judea. 11 And coming to us, he c took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, d "Thus says the Holy Spirit, e 'This is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and f deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'"
