1When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

2Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

3When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.

4Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.

6After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

7When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.

8On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
11ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲁϥ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛϯ ⲍⲱⲛⲏ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥϫⲓϫ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥϭⲁⲗⲁⲩϫ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲠⲓⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⲉⲑⲟⲩⲁⲃ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉⲫⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲙⲟϫϧ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲥⲟⲛϩϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲒⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉⲛϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ ..
12When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”

14When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”

15After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

17When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.

18The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.

19When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.

20They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.

21They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.

24Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.

25But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”

26Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

27When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,

28crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”

29For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

30All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

31As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

32Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.

34Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
