There we found some believers and stayed with them a week. By the power of the Spirit they told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.

We continued our voyage, sailing from Tyre to Ptolemais, where we greeted the believers and stayed with them for a day.

Paul had decided to sail on by Ephesus, so as not to lose any time in the province of Asia. He was in a hurry to arrive in Jerusalem by the day of Pentecost, if at all possible.

One of them, named Agabus, stood up and by the power of the Spirit predicted that a severe famine was about to come over all the earth. (It came when Claudius was emperor.)
