Acts 21:7-16
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.”
Philip ... one of the seven: See Acts 6:5; 8:4-40
Agabus: Acted prophecy of this kind us familiar from the Old Testament(e.g. Ezekiel)
Why?
Paul focused on the mission from the Lord, so he did not care the danger to his life.
Paul give up all he had, so apostles give up and said "Lord's will be done."
Our life is in the hands of the Lord.
Mission is more important then any others to Paul. How about me? My life is belong to the Lord. I subdue to the Lord Jesus Christ!
How?
Mission from the Lord is more important than life.
