AC-21:1 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:

AC-21:2 And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went

aboard, and set forth.

AC-21:3 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.

AC-21:4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who

said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to

Jerusalem.

AC-21:5 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.

AC-21:6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took

ship; and they returned home again.

AC-21:7 And when we had finished [our] course from Tyre, we
came to

Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

AC-21:8 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.

AC-21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did

prophesy.

AC-21:10 And as we tarried [there] many days, there came down
from

Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

AC-21:11 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.

AC-21:12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of
that

place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

AC-21:13 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.

AC-21:14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying,
The

will of the Lord be done.

AC-21:15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and
went up

to Jerusalem.

AC-21:16 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.

AC-21:17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren
received

us gladly.

AC-21:18 And the [day] following Paul went in with us unto
James;

and all the elders were present.

AC-21:19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly

what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

AC-21:20 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:

AC-21:21 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.

AC-21:22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come

together: for they will hear that thou art come.

AC-21:23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men

which have a vow on them;

AC-21:24 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.

AC-21:25 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.

AC-21:26 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.

AC-21:27 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,

AC-21:28 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.

AC-21:29 (For they had seen before with him in the city
Trophimus

an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the

temple.)

AC-21:30 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.

AC-21:31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto
the

chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

AC-21:32 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.

AC-21:33 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.

AC-21:34 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.

AC-21:35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he
was

borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

AC-21:36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying,

Away with him.

AC-21:37 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?

AC-21:38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days
madest

an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men

that were murderers?

AC-21:39 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.

AC-21:40 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,
