And it came to pass
, that after
we
were gotten
from
them
, and had launched
, we came
with a straight course
unto
Coos
, and
the day following
unto
Rhodes
, and from thence
unto
Patara
:
And finding
a ship
sailing over
unto
Phenicia
, we went aboard
, and set forth
.
Now when we had discovered
Cyprus
,
we left
it
on the left hand
, and sailed
into
Syria
, and
landed
at
Tyre
: for
there
the ship
was
to unlade
her burden
.
And finding
disciples
, we tarried
there
seven
days
: who
said
to Paul
through
the Spirit
, that he should
not
go up
to
Jerusalem
.
And when
we
had
accomplished
those days
, we departed
and went our way
; and they all
brought
us
on our way
, with
wives
and
children
, till
we were out of
the city
: and
we kneeled down
on
the shore
, and prayed
.
And when we had taken our leave
one of another
, we took
ship
; and
they
returned
home
again
.
And when we
had finished
our course
from
Tyre
, we came
to
Ptolemais
, and
saluted
the brethren
, and abode
with
them
one
day
.
And the next
day we that were of
Paul's
company
departed
, and came
unto
Caesarea
: and
we entered
into
the house
of Philip
the evangelist
, which was
one of
the seven
; and abode
with
him
.
And the same man
had
four
daughters
, virgins
, which did prophesy
.
And as we
tarried
there many
days
, there came down
from
Judaea
a certain
prophet
, named
Agabus
.
And when he was come
unto
us
,
he took
Paul's
girdle
, and
bound
his own
hands
and
feet
, and said
, Thus
saith
the Holy
Ghost
, So
shall
the Jews
at
Jerusalem
bind
the man
that
owneth
this
girdle
, and
shall 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
.
Then Paul
answered
, What
mean ye
to weep
and
to break
mine
heart
? for
I
am
ready
not
to be bound
only
, but
also
to die
at
Jerusalem
for
the name
of the Lord
Jesus
.
And when he
would
not
be persuaded
, we ceased
, saying
, The will
of the Lord
be done
.
And after
those
days
we took up our carriages
, and went up
to
Jerusalem
.
There went
with
us
also
certain of the disciples
of
Caesarea
, and brought
with them
one
Mnason
of Cyprus
, an old
disciple
, with whom
we should lodge
.
And when we
were come
to
Jerusalem
, the brethren
received
us
gladly
.
And the day following
Paul
went in
with
us
unto
James
; and
all
the elders
were present
.
And when he had saluted
them
, he declared
particularly
what things
God
had wrought
among
the Gentiles
by
his
ministry
.
And when they heard
it , they glorified
the Lord
, and
said
unto him
, Thou seest
, brother
, how many
thousands
of Jews
there are
which
believe
; and
they are
all
zealous
of the law
:
And they are informed
of
thee
, that
thou teachest
all
the Jews
which are among
the Gentiles
to
forsake
Moses
, saying
that they
ought
not
to circumcise
their children
, neither
to walk
after the customs
.
What is it
therefore
? the multitude
must
needs
come together
: for
they will hear
that
thou art come
.
Do therefore
this
that
we say
to thee
: We
have
four
men
which have
a vow
on
them
;
Them take
, and purify thyself
with
them
, and
be at charges
with
them
, that
they may shave
their heads
: and
all
may know
that those things
, whereof
they were informed
concerning
thee
, are
nothing
; but
that thou thyself
also
walkest orderly
, and keepest
the law
.
As touching
the Gentiles
which believe
, we
have written
and concluded
that they
observe
no
such thing
, save only
that they keep
themselves
from
things offered to idols
, and
from blood
, and
from strangled
, and
from fornication
.
Then Paul
took
the men
, and the next
day
purifying himself
with
them
entered
into
the temple
, to signify
the accomplishment
of the days
of purification
, until
that
an offering
should be offered
for
every
one
of them
.
And when
the seven
days
were almost
ended
, the Jews
which were of
Asia
, when they saw
him
in
the temple
, stirred up
all
the people
, and
laid
hands
on
him
,
Crying out, Men
of Israel
, help
: This
is
the man
, that teacheth
all
men every where
against
the people
, and
the law
, and
this
place
: and
further
brought
Greeks
also
into
the temple
, and
hath polluted
this
holy
place
.
(For they had
seen before
with
him
in
the city
Trophimus
an Ephesian
, whom
they supposed
that
Paul
had brought
into
the temple
.)
And all
the city
was moved
, and
the people
ran together
: and
they took
Paul
, and drew
him
out of
the temple
: and
forthwith
the doors
were shut
.
And as they went about
to kill
him
, tidings
came
unto the chief captain
of the band
, that
all
Jerusalem
was in an uproar
.
Who immediately
took
soldiers
and
centurions
, and ran down
unto
them
: and
when they saw
the chief captain
and
the soldiers
, they left
beating
of Paul
.
Then the chief captain
came near
, and took
him
, and
commanded
him to be bound with
two
chains
; and
demanded
who
he was
, and
what
he had
done
.
And some
cried
one thing
, some another
, among
the multitude
: and
when he could
not
know
the certainty
for
the tumult
, he commanded
him
to be carried
into
the castle
.
And when
he came
upon
the stairs
, so it was
, that he was borne
of
the soldiers
for
the violence
of the people
.
For the multitude
of the people
followed after
, crying
, Away
with him
.
And as Paul
was to be
led
into
the castle
, he said
unto the chief captain
, May
I
speak
unto
thee
?
Who
said
, Canst thou speak
Greek
?
Art not
thou
that Egyptian
, which before
these
days
madest an uproar
, and
leddest out
into
the wilderness
four thousand
men
that were murderers
?
But Paul
said
, I
am
a man
which am a Jew
of Tarsus
, a city in Cilicia
, a citizen
of no
mean
city
: and
, I beseech
thee
, suffer
me
to speak
unto
the people
.
And when he had given
him
licence
, Paul
stood
on
the stairs
, and beckoned
with the hand
unto the people
. And
when there was made
a great
silence
, he spake
unto them in the Hebrew
tongue
, saying
,
