- When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
- 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."
- When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, "The Lord's will be done."
- After this, we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.

- Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
