Acts 21:1–7

Paul Travels on to Jerusalem

21 And it happened that after we tore ourselves away* from them, we put out to sea, and* running a straight course we came to Cos and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And finding a ship that was crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and* put out to sea. 3 And after we* sighted Cyprus and left it behind ⌊on the port side⌋,a we sailed to Syria and arrived at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its* cargo there. 4 And we stayed there seven days after we* found the disciples, who kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem. 5 And it happened that when our days were over, we departed and* went on our way, while* all of them accompanied us, together with their* wives and children, as far as outside the city. And after* falling to our knees on the beach and* praying, 6 we said farewell to one another and embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own homes.

7 And when* we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. And after we* greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them.
