* And it came to pass (5633 ), that after we were gotten (5685 ) from them , and had launched (5683 ), we came (5627 ) with a straight course (5660 ) unto Coos , and the day following unto Rhodes , and from thence unto Patara : * And finding (5631 ) a ship sailing over (5723 ) unto Phenicia , we went aboard (5631 ), and set forth (5681 ). * Now when we had discovered (5631 ) Cyprus , we left (5631 ) it on the left hand , and sailed (5707 ) into Syria , and landed (5648 ) at Tyre : for there the ship was (5713 ) to unlade (5740 ) her burden . * And finding (5631 ) disciples , we tarried (5656 ) there seven days : who said (5707 ) to Paul through the Spirit , that he should not go up (5721 ) to Jerusalem . * And when we had (5633 ) accomplished (5658 ) those days , we departed (5631 ) and went our way (5711 ); and they all brought us on our way (5723 ), with wives and children , till we were out of the city : and we kneeled down (5631 ) on the shore , and prayed (5662 ). * And when we had taken our leave (5666 ) one of another , we took (5627 ) ship ; and they returned # home again (5656 ). * And when we had finished (5660 ) our course from Tyre , we came (5656 ) to Ptolemais , and saluted (5666 ) the brethren , and abode (5656 ) with them one day . * And the next day we that were of Pauls company departed (5631 ), and came (5627 ) (5625 ) (5627 ) unto Caesarea : and we entered (5631 ) into the house of Philip the evangelist , which was (5752 ) one of the seven ; and abode (5656 ) with him . * And the same man had (5713 ) four daughters , virgins , which did prophesy (5723 ). * And as we tarried (5723 ) there many days , there came down (5627 ) from Judaea a certain prophet , named Agabus . * And when he was come (5631 ) unto us , he took (5660 ) Pauls girdle , and bound (5660 ) his own hands and feet , and said (5627 ), Thus saith (5719 ) the Holy Ghost , So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind (5692 ) the man that owneth (5748 ) this girdle , and shall deliver (5692 ) him into the hands of the Gentiles . * And when we heard (5656 ) these things , both we , and they of that place , besought (5707 ) him not to go up (5721 ) to Jerusalem . * Then Paul answered (5662 ), What mean ye (5719 ) to weep (5723 ) and to break (5723 ) mine heart ? for I am (5719 ) ready not to be bound (5683 ) only , but also to die (5629 ) at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus . * And when he would not be persuaded (5746 ), we ceased (5656 ), saying (5631 ), The will of the Lord be done (5634 ). * And after those days we took up our carriages (5666 ), and went up (5707 ) to Jerusalem . * There went (5627 ) with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea , and brought (5723 ) with them one Mnason of Cyprus , an old disciple , with whom we should lodge (5686 ). * And when we were come (5637 ) to Jerusalem , the brethren received (5662 ) us gladly . * And the day following (5752 ) Paul went in (5715 ) with us unto James ; and all the elders were present (5633 ). * And when he had saluted (5666 ) them , he declared (5711 ) particularly what things God had wrought (5656 ) among the Gentiles by his ministry . * And when they heard (5660 ) it , they glorified (5707 ) the Lord , and said (5627 ) unto him , Thou seest (5719 ), brother , how many thousands of Jews there are (5748 ) which believe (5761 ); and they are (5719 ) all zealous of the law : * And they are informed (5681 ) of thee , that thou teachest (5719 ) all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses , saying (5723 ) that they ought not to circumcise (5721 ) their children , neither to walk (5721 ) after the customs . * What is it (5748 ) therefore ? the multitude must (5748 ) needs come together (5629 ): for they will hear (5695 ) that thou art come (5754 ). * Do (5657 ) therefore this that we say (5719 ) to thee : We have (5748 ) four men which have (5723 ) a vow on them ; * Them take (5631 ), and purify thyself (5682 ) with them , and be at charges (5657 ) with them , that they may shave (5667 ) their heads : and all may know (5632 ) that those things , whereof they were informed (5769 ) concerning thee , are (5748 ) nothing ; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly (5719 ), and keepest (5723 ) the law . * As touching the Gentiles which believe (5761 ), we have written (5656 ) and concluded (5660 ) that they observe (5721 ) no such thing , save only that they keep (5733 ) themselves from things offered to idols , and from blood , and from strangled , and from fornication . * Then Paul took (5631 ) the men , and the next (5746 ) day purifying himself (5685 ) with them entered (5715 ) into the temple , to signify (5723 ) the accomplishment of the days of purification , until that an offering should be offered (5681 ) for every one of them . * And when the seven days were almost (5707 ) ended (5745 ), the Jews which were of Asia , when they saw (5666 ) him in the temple , stirred up (5707 ) all the people , and laid (5627 ) hands on him , * Crying out (5723 ), Men of Israel , help (5720 ): This is (5748 ) the man , that teacheth (5723 ) all men every where against the people , and the law , and this place : and further brought (5627 ) Greeks also into the temple , and hath polluted (5758 ) this holy place . * (For they had (5713 ) seen before (5761 ) with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian , whom they supposed (5707 ) that Paul had brought (5627 ) into the temple .) * And all the city was moved (5681 ), and the people ran together (5633 ): and they took (5637 ) Paul , and drew (5707 ) him out of the temple : and forthwith the doors were shut (5681 ). * And as they went about (5723 ) to kill (5658 ) him , tidings came (5627 ) unto the chief captain of the band , that all Jerusalem was in an uproar (5769 ). * Who immediately took (5631 ) soldiers and centurions , and ran down (5627 ) unto them : and when they saw (5631 ) the chief captain and the soldiers , they left (5668 ) beating (5723 ) of Paul . * Then the chief captain came near (5660 ), and took (5633 ) him , and commanded (5656 ) him to be bound with (5683 ) two chains ; and demanded (5711 ) who he was (5751 ), and what he had (5748 ) done (5761 ). * And some cried (5707 ) one thing , some another , among the multitude : and when he could (5740 ) not know (5629 ) the certainty for the tumult , he commanded (5656 ) him to be carried (5745 ) into the castle . * And when he came (5633 ) upon the stairs , so it was (5627 ), that he was borne (5745 ) of the soldiers for the violence of the people . * For the multitude of the people followed after (5707 ), crying (5723 ), Away (5720 ) with him . * And as Paul was to be (5723 ) led (5745 ) into the castle , he said (5719 ) unto the chief captain , May (5748 ) I speak (5629 ) unto thee ? Who said (5713 ), Canst thou speak (5719 ) Greek ? * Art (5748 ) not thou that Egyptian , which before these days madest an uproar (5660 ), and leddest out (5631 ) into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers ? * But Paul said (5627 ), I am (5748 ) a man which am a Jew of Tarsus , a city in Cilicia , a citizen of no mean city : and , I beseech (5736 ) thee , suffer (5657 ) me to speak (5658 ) unto the people . * And when he had given him licence (5660 ), Paul stood (5761 ) on the stairs , and beckoned (5656 ) with the hand unto the people . And when there was made (5637 ) a great silence , he spake (5656 ) unto them in the Hebrew tongue , saying (5723 ),
