+--------Freedom, Truly; Paul's Last Words To His Friends Before His Death
And so dont cry…for this is what
Ive always ever desired, what I
heard in the sky pre-blind and bigoted
galloping apace for Damascus angry,
my horse standing on two
legs like a Roman soldier with
a scuffed shield, parrying
attacks in the Macedonian war.
The consoling counsel-speak of the
Angel in prison later- a philosophy
I then embraced: this biased trial in
Jerusalem notwithstanding: “To live
is Christ, Paul...to die is gain.”
------Acts 21:7-15
We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and sisters and stayed with them for a day. Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied. After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, tied his own hands and feet with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’” 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 started on our way up to Jerusalem. Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay. He was a man from Cyprus and one of the early disciples.
