Anditcame to pass, that after wewere gottenfromthem, and had launched, we camewith a straight courseuntoCoos, andthe day followinguntoRhodes, and from thenceuntoPatara: Andfindinga shipsailing overuntoPhoenicia, we went aboard, and set forth. Nowwhen we had discoveredCyprus, weleftiton the left hand, and sailedintoSyria, andlandedatTyre: fortheretheshipwasto unladeher burden. Andfindingdiscipleswe tarriedtheresevendays: whosaidto PaulthroughtheSpirit, that he should notgo uptoJerusalem. Andwhenwehadaccomplishedthose days, we departedand went our way; and they allbrought us on our way, withwivesandchildren, till we were outof thecity: andwe kneeled downontheshore, and prayed. Andwhen we had taken our leaveone of another, we took ship; andtheyreturnedhome again. Andwhen wehad finished our coursefromTyre, we cametoPtolemais, andsalutedthebrethren, and abodewiththemoneday. Andthenext day we that were of Paul's companydeparted, and cameuntoCaesarea: andwe enteredintothehouseof Philiptheevangelist, which waswas one oftheseven; and abodewithhim. Andthe same manhadfourdaughters, virgins, which did prophesy. Andas wetarried there manydays, there came downfromJudeaa certainprophet, namedAgabus. Andwhen he was comeuntous, hetookPaul's girdle, andboundhis ownhandsandfeet, and said, ThussaiththeHolyGhost, Soshall theJewsatJerusalembindthemanthatowneththisgirdle, andshall deliver him intothe handsof the Gentiles. Andwhenwe heardthese things, bothwe, andthey of that place, besoughthimnotto go uptoJerusalem. ThenPaulanswered, Whatmeanye to weepandto breakmineheart? forIamreadynotto be boundonly, butalsoto dieatJerusalemforthenameof theLordJesus. Andwhen hewould notbe persuaded, we ceased, saying, Thewillof theLordbe done. Andafterthosedayswe took up our carriages, and went uptoJerusalem. Therewentwithusalso certain of thedisciplesofCaesarea, and broughtwith them oneMnasonof Cyprus, an olddisciple, withwhomwe should lodge. Andwhen wewere cometoJerusalem, thebrethrenreceivedusgladly. Andthe day followingPaulwent inwithusuntoJames; andalltheelderswere present. Andwhen he had salutedthem, he declaredparticularlywhat thingsGodhad wroughtamongtheGentilesbyhisministry. Andwhen theyheard it, they glorifiedtheLord, andsaidunto him, Thou seest, brother, how manythousandsof Jewsthere arewhich believe; andthey areallzealousof thelaw: Andthey are informedofthee, thatthou teachestallthe Jewswhichare amongtheGentilesto forsakeMoses, sayingthat theyought notto circumcise their children, neitherto walkafter thecustoms. Whatisit therefore? the multitudemustneedscome together: forthey will hearthatthou art come. Dothereforethisthatwe sayto thee: Wehavefourmenwhich havea vowonthem; Themtake, and purifythyself withthem, andbe at chargeswiththem, thatthey may shave their heads: andallmay knowthatthose things, whereofthey were informedconcerningthee, arenothing; but that thouthyself alsowalkest orderly, and keepestthelaw. As touchingtheGentileswhich believe, wehave written and concludedthat theyobservenosuch thing, saveonly that they keepthemselvesfrom things offered to idols, andfrom blood, andfrom strangled, andfrom fornication. ThenPaultookthemen, and thenextdaypurifyinghimself withthementeredintothetemple, to signifytheaccomplishmentof thedaysof purification, untilthat an offeringshould be offeredforeveryoneof them. Andwhenthesevendayswere almostended, theJewswhich were ofAsia, when they sawhiminthetemple, stirred upallthepeople, andlaidhandsonhim, Crying out, Menof Israel, help: Thisistheman, that teachethall men every whereagainstthepeople, andthelaw, andthisplace: andfurtherbroughtGreeksalsointothetemple, andhath pollutedthisholyplace. ( Forthey hadseen beforewithhiminthecityTrophimusan Ephesian, whomthey supposedthatPaulhad broughtintothetemple.) Andallthecitywas moved, andthepeopleran together: andthey tookPaul, and drewhimoutof thetemple: andforthwiththedoorswere shut. Andas they went aboutto killhim, tidingscameunto thechief captainof theband, thatallJerusalemwas in an uproar. Whoimmediatelytooksoldiersandcenturions, and ran downuntothem: andwhen theysawthechief captainandthesoldiers, they leftbeatingof Paul. Thenthechief captaincame near, and tookhim, andcommanded him to be boundwith twochains; anddemandedwhohe was, andwhathe haddone. Andsome cried one thing, some another, amongthemultitude: andwhen he couldnotknowthecertaintyforthetumult, he commandedhimto be carriedintothecastle. Andwhenhe cameuponthestairs, so it was, that hewas borneofthesoldiersfortheviolenceof thepeople. Forthemultitudeof thepeoplefollowed after, crying, Awaywith him. Andas Paulwasto be ledintothecastle, he saidunto thechief captain, MayIspeakuntothee? Whosaid, Canst thou speak Greek? ArtnotthouthatEgyptian, which beforethesedaysmadest an uproar, andleddest outintothewildernessfour thousandmenthat were murderers? ButPaulsaid, Iama manwhich am a Jewof Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizenof nomeancity: and, I beseechthee, suffermeto speakuntothepeople. Andwhen hehad given him license, Paulstoodonthestairs, and beckonedwith thehandunto thepeople. Andwhen there was madea greatsilence, he spake unto them in theHebrewtongue, saying,
