Acts 21:1-18

Paul Sails from Miletus

1 Now when ^awe had parted from them and had set sail, we ran ^ba straight course to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara; 2 and having found a ship crossing over to ^cPhoenicia, we went aboard and set sail. 3 When we came in sight of ^dCyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to ^eSyria and landed at ^fTyre; for the ship was to unload its cargo there. 4 After looking up ^gthe disciples, we stayed there for seven days; and they kept telling Paul, ^{▼▼I.e., because of impressions made by the Spirit
,} ⁱthrough the Spirit, not to set foot in Jerusalem. 5 When ^{▼▼Lit we had completed the days}our days there were ended, we left and started on our journey, while they all, with wives and children, ^kescorted us until we were out of the city. After ^lkneeling down on the beach and praying, we said farewell to one another. 6 Then we boarded the ship, and they returned ^mhome.

7 When we had finished the voyage from ⁿTyre, we arrived at Ptolemais, and after greeting ^othe brothers and sisters, we stayed with them for a day. 8 On the next day we left and came to ^pCaesarea, and we entered the house of ^qPhilip the ^revangelist, who was ^sone of the seven, and stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who were ^tprophetesses. 10 As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named ^uAgabus came down from Judea. 11 And he came to us and ^vtook Paul’s belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, “This ^wis what the Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will ^xbind the man who owns this belt and ^yhand him over to the Gentiles.’” 12 When we had heard this, we as well as the local residents began begging him ^znot to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul replied, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For ^aaI am ready not only to be bound, but even to die in Jerusalem for ^abthe name of the Lord Jesus.” 14 And since he would not be persuaded, we became quiet, remarking, “ ^acThe will of the Lord be done!”

Paul in Jerusalem

15 After these days we got ready and ^adstarted on our way up to Jerusalem. 16 Some of ^aethe disciples from ^afCaesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of ^agCyprus, a ^ahdisciple of long standing with whom we were to stay.

17 After we arrived in Jerusalem, ^aithe brothers and sisters received us gladly. 18 And the following day Paul went in with us to ^{▼▼Or Jacob
,} ^akJames, and all ^althe elders were present.
