Acts 21:1–18

And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we ^acame with a straight course unto ^bCoos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara: ²And finding a ship sailing over unto ^cPhenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. ³Now when we had discovered ^dCyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into ^eSyria, and landed at ^fTyre: for ^gthere the ship was to unlade her burden. ⁴And finding ^hdisciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul ⁱthrough the Spirit, that he should not ^kgo up to Jerusalem. ⁵And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all ^lbrought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we ^mkneeled down on the shore, and prayed. ⁶And when we had ^mmtaken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned ⁿhome again. ⁷And when we had finished our course from ^fTyre, we came to ^oPtolemais, and saluted ^pthe brethren, and abode with them one day. ⁸And the next day we ^qthat were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto ^rCaesarea: and we entered into the house of ^sPhilip ^tthe evangelist, which was one ^sof the seven; and abode with him. ⁹And the same man had four daughters, virgins, ^uwhich did prophesy. ¹⁰And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain ^xprophet, named ^yAgabus. ¹¹And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s ^zgirdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith ^athe 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. ¹²And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to ^bgo up to Jerusalem. ¹³Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, ^cbut also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. ¹⁴And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, ^dThe will of the Lord be done. ¹⁵And after those days we took up our ^ecarriages, and ^bwent up to Jerusalem. ¹⁶There went with us also certain of the ^fdisciples of ^gCaesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of ^hCyprus, an old ^fdisciple, with whom we should lodge.

¹⁷And when we were come to Jerusalem, ⁱthe brethren ^kreceived us gladly. ¹⁸And the day following Paul went in with us unto ^lJames; and all ^mthe elders were present.
