Acts 21:4

[It is likely that it was Paul's persecution of the Christians that was the reason for the existence of a church here, see Acts 9:1. The church had started after the first wave of persecution in Jerusalem, see Acts 11:19.]
We sought out the disciples and stayed there for seven days. [Since they had to search for the church, it seems that neither Paul nor anyone in his traveling party was familiar with them.] Through the Spirit, they repeatedly told Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
[Already when Ananias prayed for Paul at his conversion in Damascus, he received a prophetic word that he would suffer for the name of Jesus, see Acts 9:16. This calling became increasingly clear to Paul, first in Ephesus, see Acts 19:21, and then in Miletus, see Acts 20:22. Could the same Holy Spirit who urged Paul to go to Jerusalem and then to Rom now try to prevent him?
The disciples here in Tyre correctly perceived the Spirit's message that Paul would encounter opposition in Jerusalem. Their natural reaction and interpretation of the message was to try to prevent Paul from continuing his journey. A similar event soon occurred again in Caesarea Maritima, when Paul replied that he was well aware of his calling even if it meant martyrdom, see verses 10-14. When Paul arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus himself confirmed to him that he was doing God's will, see Acts 23:11. A similar event occurred when Jesus began to reveal the prophetic events surrounding his death and resurrection to his disciples. Peter did not understand this and tried to rebuke Jesus, saying that he would not have to die, see Matt. 16:21–22.]
