Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them. Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City, and, from thence, unto Philippi, - which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia - a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days; read more.
and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, - and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.

And, these, came and were waiting for us at Troas. And, we, sailed forth, after the days of unleavened bread, from Philippi, and came unto them in Troas in five days, where we tarried seven days.


Seeing, indeed, that, many, had taken in hand to re-arrange for themselves a narrative, concerning the facts which have been fully confirmed amongst us, - according as they who from the beginning became eye-witnesses and attendants of the Word delivered them unto us, it seemed good, even to me, having closely traced from the outset all things accurately, to write unto thee, in order, most excellent Theophilus: read more.
that, as touching the matters which thou hadst been taught by word of mouth, thou mightest obtain full knowledge, of the certainty.

And it came to pass, when we set sail, having torn ourselves from them, running a straight course, we came unto Cos, and, on the next day, unto Rhodes, - and from thence unto Patara; and, finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, going on board, we set sail. And, sighting Cyprus, and leaving it behind to the left, we held on our voyage to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for, there, the ship was to discharge her cargo. read more.
And, finding up the disciples, we remained there seven days, and they, unto Paul, began to say, through the Spirit, that he would gain no footing in Jerusalem. And, when it came to pass that we had completed the days, we went forth, and continued our journey, all of them accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city; and, kneeling down on the beach in prayer, we tare ourselves from each other, and we went on board the ship, while, they, returned unto their homes. And, we, finishing the voyage from Tyre, reached Ptolemais, and, saluting the brethren, abode one day with them; and, on the morrow departing, we came to Caesarea, and, entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was of the seven, we abode with him. Now - this man, had four virgin daughters, who used to prophesy. And, as we stayed on many days, there came down a certain man from Judaea, a prophet, by name Agabus; and, coming unto us, and taking Paul's girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said - Thus, saith the Holy Spirit, the man whose this girdle is, shall the Jews thus bind in Jerusalem, and deliver up into the hands of Gentiles. And, when we heard these things, both, we, and they of the place began beseeching him, not to go up unto Jerusalem. Then, answered Paul - What are ye doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For, I, not only to be bound, but to die in Jerusalem, am ready, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus. And, as he was not to be persuaded, we ceased, saying - the Lord's, will be done! And, after these days, making ready what we had, we started to go up unto Jerusalem; and there went certain also of the disciples from Caesarea, along with us, who were to introduce us unto one with whom we might be entertained, one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple. Now, when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren, gladly welcomed us. And, on the next day, Paul went in with us unto James, and, all the elders, were present.
