Today: Old City of Jerusalem
A city in the hills of Judea, about 22 miles (35 km) west of the Dead Sea and 35 miles (55 km) east of the Mediterranean.
David took it and made it his city (2 Sam 5:7); Solomon built the temple there (1 Kgs 8:1). Jesus was presented there, and the apostles' witness began from it (Luke 2:22; Acts 1:8).
10And while we were staying many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 · This verse (above)

1. What it says
What does the prophet Agabus do, and what do the believers who hear him ask of Paul? (vv. 10-12)
2. What it means
What does Paul answer those who weep to keep him from going up to Jerusalem, and how do they react? (vv. 13-14)
3. How I live it
Paul's friends wanted to protect him, but in the end said "The Lord's will be done" (v. 14). When is it hard for you to let someone you love go?
