1
When
we had parted
from them and had set sail,
we ran a straight course
to Cos
and the next
day to Rhodes
and from there
to Patara;
2
and having found
a ship
crossing over
to Phoenicia,
we went aboard
and set sail.
3
When we came in sight
of Cyprus,
leaving
it on the left,
we kept sailing
to Syria
and landed
at Tyre;
for there
the ship
was to unload
its cargo.
4
After looking
up the disciples,
we stayed
there
seven
days;
and they kept telling
Paul
through
the Spirit
not to set foot
in Jerusalem.
5
When
our days
there were ended,
we left
and started
on our journey,
while they all,
with wives
and children,
escorted
us until
we were out of the city.
After kneeling
down
on the beach
and praying,
we said farewell
to one another.
6
Then
we went on board
the ship,
and they returned
home
again.
7
When we had finished
the voyage
from Tyre,
we arrived
at Ptolemais,
and after greeting
the brethren,
we stayed
with them for a day.
8
On the next day
we left
and came
to Caesarea,
and entering
the house
of Philip
the evangelist,
who was one of the seven,
we stayed
with him.
9
Now
this man
had
four
virgin
daughters
who were prophetesses.
10
As we were staying
there for some
days,
a prophet
named
Agabus
came down
from Judea.
11
And coming
to us, he took
Paul's
belt
and bound
his own
feet
and hands,
and said,
"This is what
the Holy
Spirit
says:
'In
this
way
the Jews
at Jerusalem
will bind
the man
who
owns
this
belt
and deliver
him into the hands
of the Gentiles.'"
12
When
we had heard
this,
we as well
as the local residents
began begging
him not to go
up to Jerusalem.
13
Then
Paul
answered,
"What
are you doing,
weeping
and breaking
my heart?
For I am
ready
not only
to be bound,
but even
to die
at Jerusalem
for the name
of the Lord
Jesus."
14
And since he would not be persuaded,
we fell silent,
remarking,
"The will
of the Lord
be done!"
15
After
these
days
we got ready
and started on our way
up to Jerusalem.
16
Some of the disciples
from Caesarea
also
came
with us, taking
us to Mnason
of Cyprus,
a disciple
of long standing
with whom
we were to lodge.
17
After
we arrived
in Jerusalem,
the brethren
received
us gladly.
18
And the following
day Paul
went
in with us to James,
and all
the elders
were present.
19
After he had greeted
them, he began to relate
one by one
the things which
God
had done
among
the Gentiles
through
his ministry.
20
And when they heard
it they began glorifying
God;
and they said
to him, "You see,
brother,
how many
thousands
there are among
the Jews
of those
who have believed,
and they are all
zealous
for the Law;
21
and they have been told
about
you, that you are teaching
all
the Jews
who are among
the Gentiles
to forsake
Moses,
telling
them not to circumcise
their children
nor
to walk
according to the customs.
22
"What,
then,
is to be done? They will certainly
hear
that you have come.
23
"Therefore
do
this
that we tell
you. We have four
men
who are under
a vow;
24
take
them and purify
yourself along
with them, and pay their expenses
so
that they may shave
their heads;
and all
will know
that there is nothing
to the things which
they have been told
about
you, but that you yourself
al
so
walk orderly,
keeping
the Law.
25
"But concerning
the Gentiles
who have believed,
we wrote,
having decided
that they should abstain
from meat
sacrificed to idols
and from blood
and from what is strangled
and from fornication."
26
Then
Paul
took
the men,
and the next
day,
purifying
himself along
with them, went
into the temple
giving notice
of the completion
of the days
of purification,
until
the sacrifice
was offered
for each
one
of them.
27
When
the seven
days
were almost
over,
the Jews
from Asia,
upon seeing
him in the temple,
began to stir
up all
the crowd
and laid
hands
on him,
28
crying
out, "Men
of Israel,
come to our aid!
This
is the man
who preaches
to all men
everywhere
against
our people
and the Law
and
this
place;
and besides
he has even
brought
Greeks
into the temple
and has defiled
this
holy
place."
29
For they had previously seen
Trophimus
the Ephesian
in the city
with him, and they supposed
that Paul
had brought
him into the temple.
30
Then
all
the city
was provoked,
and the people
rushed together,
and taking hold
of Paul
they dragged
him out of the temple,
and immediately
the doors
were shut.
31
While they were seeking
to kill
him, a report
came
up to the commander
of the Roman cohort
that all
Jerusalem
was in confusion.
32
At once
he took along
some soldiers
and centurions
and ran down
to them; and when they saw
the commander
and the soldiers,
they stopped
beating
Paul.
33
Then
the commander
came
up and took hold
of him, and ordered
him to be bound
with two
chains;
and he began asking
who
he was and what
he had done.
34
But among
the crowd
some
were shouting
one thing and
some
another,
and when he could
not find
out the facts
because
of the uproar,
he ordered
him to be brought
into the barracks.
35
When
he got
to the stairs,
he was carried
by the soldiers
because
of the violence
of the mob;
36
for the multitude
of the people
kept following
them, shouting,
"Away
with him!"
37
As Paul
was about
to be brought
into the barracks,
he said
to the commander,
"May
I say
something
to you?" And
he said
,
"Do you know
Greek?
38
"Then
you are not the Egyptian
who some
time
ago
stirred up a revolt
and led
the four thousand
men
of the Assassins
out into the wilderness?"
39
But Paul
said,
"I am
a Jew
of Tarsus
in Cilicia,
a citizen
of no
insignificant
city;
and I beg
you, allow
me to speak
to the people."
40
When he had given him permission,
Paul,
standing
on the stairs,
motioned
to the people
with his hand;
and when there was a great
hush,
he spoke
to them in the Hebrew
dialect,
saying,
