ACTS 21:12 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.”
When we heard this, we as well as the local people began begging him not to go up to Jerusalem — collective intercession arises, yet it is based on human reasoning about safety rather than submission to Paul's calling. The community loves Paul but cannot see that his suffering is integral to his apostolic witness.
Church Fathers on Acts 21:12
deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. Acts 21:12 Many even besought him not to depart, and still he would not comply.
