Context of Acts 21:17

15After this we got ready and started on our way up to Jerusalem. 16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also came with us, taking us to [the house of] Mnason, a man from Cyprus, a disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge. When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters welcomed us gladly. 18On the next day Paul went with us to [see] James, and all the elders of the church were present. 19After greeting them, Paul began to give a detailed account of the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
