And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. Acts 21:14

The disciples submit to the Lord's will, echoing the Savior's own words in Gethsemane. As Jesus went up to Jerusalem to suffer, Paul follows the same path of submission.

For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him. Acts 21:36
