Acts 21:15

Jerusalem

13 Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

14 When he would not be dissuaded, we fell silent and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”

After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.

16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to stay at the home of Mnason the Cypriot, an early disciple.

17 When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us joyfully.
