	NET New English Translation	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
10	While we remained there for a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.	While we were staying for many days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.	After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11	He came to us, took Paul's belt, tied his own hands and feet with it, and said, \|The Holy Spirit says this: 'This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'\|	And coming to us, he took Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is how the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”	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.’”
12	When we heard this, both we and the local people begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.	When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.	When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
13	Then Paul replied, \|What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.\|	Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be imprisoned but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”	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.”
14	Because he could not be persuaded, we said no more except, \|The Lord's will be done.\|	And since he would not be persuaded, we ceased and said, “Let the will of the Lord be done.”	When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
