the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'" 021:012 When we heard these things, both we and they of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 021:013 Then 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." 021:014 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done." 021:015 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem. 021:016 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay. 021:017 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly. 021:018 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present. 021:019 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry. 021:020 They, when they heard it, glorified God.
