King James Version
After we had
torn
ourselves
away
from them, we sailed
directly
to
Cos
, and the next
day on
to
Rhodes, and from there
to
Patara .
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 :
Finding a ship crossing
over to
Phoenicia
, we boarded
it
and set sail
.
And
finding a ship sailing
over unto
Phenicia
, we went
aboard,
and set forth
.
After
sighting
Cyprus and
passing
south
of
it
, we sailed
on to
Syria and landed at Tyre ,
where
the ship was to unload
its
cargo
.
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
.
We
sought
out
the
disciples
in
Tyre
and stayed
with
them
seven days .
Through the Spirit they
kept
telling
Paul
not to
go up to Jerusalem.
And finding
disciples,
we
tarried
there
seven days :
who
said
to
Paul
through the Spirit ,
that
he
should
not go up to Jerusalem.
But
when our
time
there
had ended
, we set
out
on
our journey.
All the
disciples
, with their
wives and children, accompanied
us
out of the city and knelt
down on the beach
to
pray
with
us
.
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
.
And after
we had said
our farewells
, we went
aboard
the
ship ,
and they returned home.
And when
we had taken
our leave
one
of
another
, we took
ship ;
and they returned home again
.
When we had finished our voyage
from Tyre, we landed
at
Ptolemais, where
we
greeted
the brothers
and stayed
with them for
a
day.
And
when we had finished our course
from Tyre, we came
to
Ptolemais, and
saluted
the brethren,
and abode
with them one
day.
Leaving
the next day ,
we went
on
to
Caesarea and stayed
at
the home
of Philip the evangelist, who
was one of the Seven.
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
.
He
had four unmarried
daughters who
prophesied
.
And
the
same
man
had four daughters ,
virgins,
which
did
prophesy
.
After
we had
been
there several
days, a prophet named Agabus came
down
from
Judea
.
And
as
we tarried
there many
days, there
came
down
from
Judaea
a certain
prophet ,
named Agabus.
Coming
over
to
us, he took Paul’s
belt
, bound his own feet
and
hands, and said, “
The Holy Spirit
says:
‘In
this
way
the Jews of
Jerusalem will
bind the owner
of
this belt
and hand
him over
to
the Gentiles. ’”
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.
When we heard this
, we and the
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.
Then Paul answered, “Why
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
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.
When he would not be dissuaded
, we fell
silent
and
said
, “
The Lord’s
will be done. ”
And
when he would not be persuaded
, we ceased
, saying,
The will of
the
Lord
be done.
After these
days ,
we packed
up and went on
to Jerusalem.
And
after those
days we took
up our
carriages,
and went up
to Jerusalem.
Some
of the disciples from
Caesarea accompanied
us
, and they
took
us
to
stay
at
the
home
of
Mnason the
Cypriot
, an early
disciple.
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
.
When we arrived
in
Jerusalem, the brothers
welcomed
us joyfully
.
And
when we were
come
to
Jerusalem, the brethren
received
us gladly
.
The next
day Paul went in with us to
see
James ,
and all the elders were present.
And
the day following
Paul went in with us unto
James ;
and all the elders were present.
Paul
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
declared
particularly
what
things God had wrought
among the Gentiles by
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
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 :
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 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.
What then
should
we
do
? They will certainly
hear that you
have
come.
What is
it
therefore
? the
multitude
must
needs
come
together:
for
they will 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 which
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.
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.
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
. ”
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
.
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 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.
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 ended
, the Jews
which
were
of Asia ,
when
they
saw him
in
the temple ,
stirred up all
the people,
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
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.
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 seen before
with him in the city Trophimus
an
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 took
Paul ,
and drew
him out of the temple :
and forthwith
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 went
about
to kill him, tidings
came
unto
the chief
captain
of the band,
that all Jerusalem was in an
uproar
.
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.
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.
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 took
him
, and
commanded
him
to
be bound with two chains ;
and
demanded
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 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
.
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 people
.
For the crowd
that
followed him
kept
shouting
, “
Away with him !”
For the multitude
of
the
people
followed after
, crying,
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
to
be
led
into the castle
, he said
unto
the chief
captain
, May I speak
unto
thee
? Who
said,
Canst
thou
speak 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
not
thou
that
Egyptian ,
which
before
these
days
madest
an
uproar,
and leddest
out
into the wilderness four
thousand
men
that
were
murderers
?
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 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.
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
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,
