the disciples ,
we
tarried
there
seven days :

these
said
to
Paul
through the Spirit ,

should
not set
foot
in

when our
time
there
had ended
, we set
out
on our journey .

disciples
, with their
wives and children, accompanied
us out of the city and knelt
down on the beach to

days

bind the owner
of
this belt
and hand
him over
to
the Gentiles. ’”

coming to us, and
taking

bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus
saith
the Holy Spirit ,
So
shall
the Jews at
Jerusalem bind the man
that
owneth
this girdle,
and shall
deliver
him into
the hands
of
the
Gentiles.

people
there
pleaded
with
Paul
not to go up to Jerusalem.
And
when we heard these
things
, both
we and they
of
that
place
besought
him
not to go up to Jerusalem.

are
you
weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only
to be bound, but also to die in
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. ”
Then Paul answered, What
do
ye,
weeping and breaking my heart? for
I am ready not to be bound only
, but also to die at
Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
When he would not be dissuaded
, we fell
silent
and
said
, “
The Lord’s
will be done. ”

, we ceased
, saying,
The will of
the
Lord
be done.

up and went on

greeted
them
and recounted
one by one the things that
God had done
among the Gentiles through his ministry.
And when
he
had
saluted
them,
he
rehearsed
one by one the things which
God had wrought
among the Gentiles through his ministry.
When they heard this
, they
glorified God .
Then
they said to
Paul
, “You
see
, brother, how many thousands of
Jews have believed ,
and all
of
them
are zealous for the law .
And
they,
when they heard it
, glorified God ;
and
they said unto
him
, Thou
seest
, brother, how many thousands there
are
among
the
Jews of
them
that
have believed ;
and they
are all
zealous for the law :
But
they are
under
the
impression
that you
teach
all the Jews who live
among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or
observe
our
customs.
and
they have
been
informed
concerning
thee,
that thou
teachest
all the Jews who are
among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither
to
walk
after
the
customs.
What then
should
we
do
? They will certainly hear that you
have
come.
What is
it
therefore
? They will certainly hear that thou
art
come.
Therefore
do what
we advise
you.
There
are
four men with
us
who
have taken
a vow .
Do therefore
this
that
we say
to
thee:
We
have
four men that
have a vow on
them;
Take
these men
, purify yourself
along
with them, and pay
their
expenses
so
they can
have
their heads shaved.
Then
everyone
will
know that there is no truth to
these
rumors
about
you,
but that you
also live
in
obedience
to
the law.
these take
, and
purify thyself
with them, and be
at
charges
for
them,
that
they may
shave
their heads :
and
all
shall
know that there is no truth in
the
things
whereof
they
have
been
informed
concerning
thee;
but that thou
thyself
also walkest
orderly,
keeping
the law.
As for
the Gentile
believers
, we have
written
to
them
our
decision
that they must
abstain
from food
sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the
meat
of
strangled animals
, and from sexual
immorality
. ”
But
as touching
the Gentiles
that
have
believed
, we wrote,
giving
judgment
that they should
keep
themselves
from things
sacrificed to idols, and
from blood, and
from what
is
strangled, and from fornication
.
So
the
next
day
Paul took the men and purified
himself along
with them .
Then
he
entered
the temple to
give
notice
of the date
when
their
purification would
be
complete
and
the offering would
be
made
for each
of them.
Then
Paul took the men ,
and the
next
day
purifying
himself with them went
into
the temple ,
declaring
the
fulfilment
of the days
of
purification ,
until
the offering was
offered
for every
one
of them.
When the seven days were almost over
, some
Jews from the
province
of
Asia saw Paul
at
the temple .
They
stirred up the whole
crowd
and seized
him,
And
when 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,
crying out, “
Men of Israel, help us!
This is the man who
teaches
everywhere against our
people and against
our
law and against
this place .
Furthermore,
he has
brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place. ”
crying out, Men of Israel, help :
This is the man that
teacheth
all
men
everywhere against the
people ,
and the
law ,
and this place ;
and
moreover
he brought Greeks also
into the temple ,
and hath
defiled this holy place.
For they had previously
seen Trophimus
the
Ephesian
with him in the city, and
they assumed
that Paul had brought him
into the temple.
For they had before
seen with him in the city Trophimus
the
Ephesian
, whom
they supposed
that Paul had brought into the temple.
The whole
city was stirred
up
, and the people rushed
together .
They seized
Paul and dragged him out of the temple ,
and at
once
the gates
were shut.
And
all
the city was moved
, and the people ran
together ;
and
they laid
hold
on
Paul ,
and dragged him out of the temple :
and straightway
the doors
were shut.
While
they were trying
to kill him, the commander
of the Roman
regiment
received
a
report
that all Jerusalem was in turmoil
.
And
as
they were seeking
to kill him, tidings
came
up
to
the chief
captain
of the band,
that all Jerusalem was in confusion
.
Immediately
he took some
soldiers and centurions and ran down to
the
crowd.
When the
people
saw the commander
and the soldiers, they
stopped
beating Paul.
And
forthwith
he took soldiers and centurions ,
and ran down upon
them:
and
they,
when they
saw the chief
captain
and the soldiers, left
off
beating Paul.
The commander
came up
and arrested
Paul
, ordering
that
he
be bound with two chains .
Then
he
asked
who he was and what he had done.
Then
the chief
captain
came near,
and laid
hold
on
him
, and
commanded
him
to
be bound with two chains ;
and
inquired
who he was ,
and what he had done.
Some in
the
crowd
were
shouting
one thing, and
some another .
And
since
the commander
could not get
at
the truth
because
of
the uproar, he ordered
that
Paul
be brought into the barracks
.
And
some shouted
one thing, some another ,
among
the crowd:
and
when
he
could not know
the certainty
for
the uproar, he commanded
him
to
be brought into the castle
.
When Paul
reached
the steps
, he had
to
be
carried
by
the soldiers because
of
the violence of the mob.
And
when he
came
upon
the stairs
, so
it
was
that
he was
borne
of
the soldiers for
the violence of the crowd;
For the crowd
that
followed him
kept
shouting
, “
Away with him !”
for the multitude
of
the
people
followed after
, crying
out,
Away with him .
As they
were
about to take
Paul
into the barracks
, he asked
the commander
, “
May I say something to
you
? ”
“Do
you
speak
Greek? ”
he
replied.
And
as Paul
was
about to be
brought
into the castle
, he saith
unto
the chief
captain
, May I say something unto
thee
? And
he
said,
Dost
thou
know
Greek?
“Aren’t
you
the Egyptian who incited
a
rebellion
some
time
ago
and led four thousand members
of the ‘
Assassins ’
into
the
wilderness
? ”
Art
thou
not
then
the Egyptian ,
who before
these
days
stirred
up
to
sedition
and led out
into
the
wilderness
the
four thousand men
of the Assassins?
But Paul answered
, “
I am a Jew from
Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary
city .
Now
I beg
you
to
allow
me to speak to
the people. ”
But Paul said
, I am a Jew ,
of
Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean
city :
and
I beseech
thee,
give
me leave
to speak unto
the people.
Having
received
permission
, Paul stood
on the steps
and
motioned
to
the crowd.
A great hush
came
over
the
crowd
, and
he addressed
them in Hebrew :
And
when
he
had
given
him
leave
, Paul ,
standing
on the stairs,
beckoned
with
the hand
unto
the
people;
and
when
there
was
made
a great silence
, he spake
unto
them in the
Hebrew language,
saying,
