Acts 21:12

Acts 21:12. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. The prediction of Agabus, set forth in so striking and impressive a manner, and possibly, too, because it detailed the danger in a way much more precise than appears from the text of the narrative, moved even the fearless companions of Paul, men like Luke; and they, and Philip and his daughters, and others, joined their entreaties to the great leader not to risk a life so precious to the Master's cause, but to give up the journey.

Commentators strikingly call attention here to the parallel between Paul and Paul's Master, who had to listen to His disciple Peter endeavouring to persuade Him to turn aside from the way of suffering on which He had entered.
