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.


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.

And, they, having heard, began glorifying God; and they said to him - Thou observest, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews who have believed, and, all, are zealous for the law. Now they have heard it rumoured concerning thee, that, an apostacy, art thou teaching, from Moses, unto all the Jews, who are among the nations, telling them not to be circumcising their children, nor, by the customs, to be walking. What, then, is it? at all events, they will hear that thou hast come. This, then, do, which unto thee, we say: - We have four men who have a vow upon themselves. Taking these unto thee, be purified with them, and spend something upon them, that they may shave their head; and all will get to know, that the things which they have heard rumoured concerning thee, are, nothing, - on the contrary, thou thyself, dost keep the ranks, guarding the law. But, concerning them of the nations who have believed, we ourselves, sent, deciding that they should be guarding themselves, both as to idol sacrifice, and blood, and what is strangled, and fornication.
