Caesarea
Today: Caesarea Maritima ruins, Israel
A port city on the Mediterranean coast, about 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Jerusalem.
There Peter announced the good news to Cornelius and his household (Acts 10:1-48). Paul was kept prisoner there before being sent to Rome (Acts 23:23; 25:1).
The context
15And after these days we got ready and were going up to Jerusalem.
16 · This verse (above)
17And when we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us gladly.

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?
