Act 21:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13 : Paul answered their pleas with courage. He said, What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? Their sadness made it even harder for him, because he loved them. But he reminded them that following Jesus sometimes means suffering or even dying. Paul told them he was ready not just to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 9:16 ). He was prepared in his heart, trusting God, and willing to face whatever would come, because he knew it was for Christ.
