* And it came to pass , after we had torn ourselves from them , and had put to sea , that we came with a straight course to Cos , and the day following to Rhodes , and from thence to Patara . * And finding a ship crossing over to Phenicia , we went aboard , and put to sea . * And having come in sight of Cyprus , we passed it on the left , and sailed to Syria , and landed at Tyre ; for there the ship was to unlade her cargo . * And having found out the disciples , we remained there seven days ; and they told Paul , through the Spirit , not to go up to Jerusalem . * And when we had completed the days , we departed , and went our way , they all accompanying us , with wives and children , till we were out of the city ; and having kneeled down on the shore and prayed , * we took leave of each other , and went on board the ship ; and they returned home . * But we , finishing our voyage , came down from Tyre to Ptolemais ; and having embraced the brethren , remained with them one day . * And on the morrow we departed , and came to Caesarea ; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist , who was one of the seven , we stayed with him . * And this man had four daughters , virgins , who prophesied . * And while we were staying some days longer , there came down from Judaea a certain prophet , named Agabus ; * and coming to us , he took off Paul ’s girdle , and bound his own feet and hands , and said , Thus saith the Holy Spirit : So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle , and will deliver him into the hands of the gentiles . * But when we heard this , both we , and they of that place , besought him not to go to Jerusalem . * Then answered Paul , What mean ye that ye weep , and break my heart ? For I am ready not only to be bound , but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus . * And when he would not be persuaded , we ceased ; saying , The Lord ’s will be done .
