2 and having found G2147 a ship G4143 crossing over unto Phoenicia Φοινίκην Phoinikēn G5403 , we went aboard , and set ἀνήχθημεν. anēchthēmen G321 sail G321 . 3 And when we had come in sight of Cyprus Κύπρον Kupron G2954 , leaving G2641 it on the left G2641 hand , we sailed ἐπλέομεν epleomen G4126 unto Syria Συρίαν Surian G4947 , and landed at Tyre Τύρον· Turon G5184 ; for there the ship πλοῖον ploion G4143 was G1510 to unlade her burden. 4 And having found the disciples G3101 , we tarried there seven ἑπτά, hepta G2033 days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 : and these said G3004 to Paul Παύλῳ Paulō G3972 through the Spirit πνεύματος pneumatos G4151 , that he should not set foot in Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα. Hi'erosoluma G2414 . 5 And when ὅτε hote G3753 it came G1096 to pass G1096 that we had accomplished the days ἡμέρας, hēmeras G2250 , we departed G1831 and went G1831 on our journey ; and they all , with wives G1135 and children G5043 , brought us on our way till we were out of the city πόλεως, poleōs G4172 : and kneeling down G5087 on the beach , we prayed προσευξάμενοι proseuxamenoi G4336 , and bade each other farewell; 6 and we went G305 on board the ship G4143 , but they returned ὑπέστρεψαν hupestrepsan G5290 home again . 7 And when we had finished the voyage πλοῦν ploun G4144 from Tyre Τύρου Turou G5184 , we arrived at Ptolemais ; and we saluted the brethren , and abode with them one μίαν mian G1520 day ἡμέραν hēmeran G2250 . 8 And on the morrow we departed G1831 , and came G2064 unto Cæsarea: and entering εἰσελθόντες eiselthontes G1525 into the house οἶκον oikon G3624 of Philip Φιλίππου Philippou G5376 the evangelist εὐαγγελιστοῦ euangelistou G2099 , who was G1510 one G3588 of the seven ἑπτὰ hepta G2033 , we abode with him . 9 Now δὲ de G1161 this man τούτῳ toutō G3778 had four τέσσαρες tessares G5064 virgin παρθένοι parthenoi G3933 daughters θυγατέρες thugateres G2364 , who prophesied προφητεύουσαι.¶ prophēteuousai G4395 . 10 And as we tarried there some days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 , there came G2718 down κατῆλθέν katēlthen G2718 from Judæa a certain τις tis G5100 prophet προφήτης prophētēs G4396 , named G3686 Agabus Ἅγαβος, Hagabos G13 . 11 And coming ἐλθὼν elthōn G2064 to us , and taking G142 Paul’s girdle, he bound G1210 his own G1438 feet G4228 and hands χεῖρας cheiras G5495 , and said λέγει legei G3004 , Thus G3779 saith the Holy ἅγιον· hagion G40 Spirit πνεῦμα pneuma G4151 , So shall the Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 at Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 bind G1210 the man ἄνδρα andra G435 that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver παραδώσουσιν paradōsousin G3860 him into the hands χεῖρας cheiras G5495 of the Gentiles ἐθνῶν. ethnōn G1484 . 12 And when ὡς hōs G5613 we heard G191 these things ταῦτα, tauta G3778 , both we and they of that place besought him not to go ἀναβαίνειν anabainein G305 up to Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλήμ. Ierousalēm G2419 . 13 Then Paul Παῦλος· Paulos G3972 answered ἀπεκρίθη apekrithē G611 , What do ye, weeping κλαίοντες klaiontes G2799 and breaking my heart καρδίαν; kardian G2588 ? for I am ready G2093 not to be bound G1210 only G3440 , but also G2532 to die ἀποθανεῖν apothanein G599 at Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλὴμ Ierousalēm G2419 for the name ὀνόματος onomatos G3686 of the Lord κυρίου kuriou G2962 Jesus Ἰησοῦ. Iēsou G2424 . 14 And when he would not be persuaded G3982 , we ceased, saying G3004 , The will of the Lord κυρίου kuriou G2962 be done . 15 And after these days ἡμέρας hēmeras G2250 we took up our baggage and went G305 up to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα. Hi'erosoluma G2414 . 16 And there went with us also καὶ kai G2532 certain τινι tini G5100 of the disciples G3101 from Cæsarea, bringing G71 with them one G5100 Mnason of Cyprus , an early ἀρχαίῳ archaiō G744 disciple G3101 , with whom we should lodge . 17 And when we were come G1096 to Jerusalem Ἱεροσόλυμα Hi'erosoluma G2414 , the brethren received us gladly . 18 And the day following Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 went in with us unto James Ἰάκωβον, Iakōbon G2385 ; and all the elders πρεσβύτεροι. presbuteroi G4245 were present . 19 And when he had saluted them , he rehearsed one ἓν hen G1520 by one G1520 the things ὧν hōn G3739 which God θεὸς theos G2316 had wrought among the Gentiles ἔθνεσιν ethnesin G1484 through his ministry διακονίας diakonias G1248 . 20 And they , when they heard G191 it , glorified ἐδόξαζον edoxazon G1392 God θεόν, theon G2316 ; and they said G3004 unto him , Thou seest, brother ἀδελφέ, adelphe G80 , how πόσαι posai G4214 many G4214 thousands there are G1510 among the Jews Ἰουδαίοις Ioudaiois G2453 of them that have believed G4100 ; and they are G1510 all zealous ζηλωταὶ zēlōtai G2207 for the law νόμου nomou G3551 : 21 and they have been informed concerning G4012 thee, that thou teachest all the Jews Ἰουδαίους Ioudaious G2453 who are among the Gentiles ἔθνη ethnē G1484 to forsake Moses Μωϋσέως Mōuseōs G3475 , telling G3004 them not to circumcise περιτέμνειν peritemnein G4059 their children G5043 , neither to walk περιπατεῖν. peripatein G4043 after the customs ἔθεσιν ethesin G1485 . 22 What is G1510 it therefore G3767 ? they will certainly hear ἀκούσονται akousontai G191 that thou art come ἐλήλυθας. elēluthas G2064 . 23 Do therefore οὖν oun G3767 this that we say λέγομεν· legomen G3004 to thee: We have four τέσσαρες tessares G5064 men G435 that have a vow εὐχὴν euchēn G2171 on them ; 24 these take G3880 , and purify G48 thyself with them , and be G1510 at charges for them , that they may shave their heads κεφαλήν, kephalēn G2776 : and all shall know γνώσονται gnōsontai G1097 that there is G1510 no truth in the things G3778 whereof they have been G1510 informed concerning G4012 thee; but that thou thyself also G2532 walkest orderly , keeping φυλάσσων phulassōn G5442 the law νόμον. nomon G3551 . 25 But as touching the Gentiles ἐθνῶν ethnōn G1484 that have believed G4100 , we wrote , giving judgment that they should keep φυλάσσεσθαι phulassesthai G5442 themselves from things sacrificed to idols , and from blood αἷμα haima G129 , and from what is strangled , and from fornication . 26 Then Τότε Tote G5119 Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 took G3880 the men G435 , and the next day ἡμέρᾳ hēmera G2250 purifying G48 himself with them went into the temple , declaring the fulfilment of the days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 of purification , until the offering G4376 was offered προσηνέχθη prosēnechthē G4374 for every one ἑνὸς henos G1520 of them . 29 For they had before seen with him in the city πόλει polei G4172 Trophimus Τρόφιμον Trophimon G5161 the Ephesian G2180 , whom they supposed that Paul Παῦλος. Paulos G3972 had brought G1521 into the temple . 30 And all the city πόλις polis G4172 was moved G2795 , and the people λαοῦ, laou G2992 ran together ; and they laid hold ἐπιλαβόμενοι epilabomenoi G1949 on Paul Παύλου Paulou G3972 , and dragged him out of the temple : and straightway the doors θύραι. thurai G2374 were shut ἐκλείσθησαν ekleisthēsan G2808 . 31 And as they were seeking ζητούντων zētountōn G2212 to kill ἀποκτεῖναι apokteinai G615 him , tidings came G305 up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem Ἰερουσαλήμ· Ierousalēm G2419 was in confusion . 32 And forthwith he took G3880 soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 and centurions ἑκατοντάρχας hekatontarchas G1543 , and ran down upon them : and they , when they saw G3708 the chief captain and the soldiers στρατιώτας stratiōtas G4757 , left off beating τύπτοντες tuptontes G5180 Paul Παῦλον. Paulon G3972 . 33 Then the chief captain came near , and laid hold ἐπελάβετο epelabeto G1949 on him , and commanded ἐκέλευσεν ekeleusen G2753 him to be G1510 bound G1210 with two δυσὶν dusin G1417 chains ἁλύσεσιν halusesin G254 ; and inquired G4441 who he was G1510 , and what he had done . 34 And some shouted one τι ti G5100 thing , some another , among the crowd ὄχλῳ. ochlō G3793 : and when he could not know γνῶναι gnōnai G1097 the certainty for the uproar θόρυβον thorubon G2351 , he commanded G2753 him to be brought G71 into the castle. 35 And when ὅτε hote G3753 he came G1096 upon the stairs ἀναβαθμούς, anabathmous G304 , so it was that he was borne G941 of the soldiers στρατιωτῶν stratiōtōn G4757 for the violence βίαν bian G970 of the crowd ὄχλου· ochlou G3793 ; 36 for the multitude πλῆθος plēthos G4128 of the people λαοῦ laou G2992 followed ἠκολούθει ēkolouthei G190 after , crying κράζοντες· krazontes G2896 out , Away αἶρε aire G142 with him . 37 And as Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 was about to be brought G1521 into the castle, he saith unto the chief captain, May I say λέγει legei G3004 something τι ti G5100 unto thee? And he said G3004 , Dost thou know γινώσκεις; ginōskeis G1097 Greek ἑλληνιστὶ hellēnisti G1676 ? 38 Art thou not then the Egyptian Αἰγύπτιος Aiguptios G124 , who before these days ἡμερῶν hēmerōn G2250 stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness ἔρημον erēmon G2048 the four τετρακισχιλίους tetrakischilious G5070 thousand G5070 men G435 of the Assassins ? 40 And when he had given him leave, Paul Παῦλος Paulos G3972 , standing G2476 on the stairs ἀναβαθμῶν anabathmōn G304 , beckoned with the hand χειρὶ cheiri G5495 unto the people λαῷ, laō G2992 ; and when there was made a great πολλῆς pollēs G4183 silence σιγῆς sigēs G4602 , he spake unto them in the Hebrew Ἑβραΐδι Hebraidi G1446 language διαλέκτῳ dialektō G1258 , saying λέγων·¶ legōn G3004 , ← Acts 20 Acts 22 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
