“And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.”
King James Version (KJV)
21:12 Both we, (his fellow travellers,) and they of the place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem - St. Paul knew that this prediction had the force of a command. They did not know this.
Ac 21:12-14 Besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. The striking manner of Agabus, and perhaps his statements of the dark plots among the Jews against Paul, had such an effect that all sought, more earnestly than ever before, to dissuade him from going on.
And when we heard these things, both we and they of that place, besought him not to goe vp to Hierusalem.
