21And 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. ²And finding a ship that was crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and^* put out to sea. ³And 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. ⁴And we stayed there seven days after we^* found the disciples, who kept telling Paul through the Spirit not to set foot in Jerusalem. ⁵And 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, ⁶we said farewell to one another and embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own homes.

⁷And when^* we had completed the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. And after we^* greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them. ⁸And on the next day we departed and^* came to Caesarea, and entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and^* stayed with him. ⁹(Now this man had^b four virgin daughters who prophesied.)

¹⁰And while we^* were staying there^* many days, a certain prophet named^c Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹And he came to us and took Paul’s belt. Tying up his own feet and hands, he said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will tie up the man whose belt this is, and will deliver him^* into the hands of the Gentiles.’ ” ¹²And when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³Then Paul replied, “What are you doing weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be tied up, but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus!” ¹⁴And because^* he would not be persuaded, we remained silent, saying, “The will of the Lord be done.”

¹⁵So after these days we got ready and^* went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁶And some of the disciples from Caesarea also traveled together with us, bringing us^* to a certain Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing,^d with whom we were to be entertained as guests.

Paul Visits the Leaders of the Jerusalem Church
