Acts 21:1-18

1WhenG5613 1we had partedG645 from them and had setG321 sailG321, we ranG2113 2a straightG2113 courseG2113 to CosG2972 and the nextG1836 day to RhodesG4499 and from thereG2547 to PataraG3959; 2and having foundG2147 a shipG4143 crossingG1276 overG1276 to 3PhoeniciaG5403, we wentG1910 aboardG1910 and setG321 sailG321. 3When we cameG398 in sightG398 of 4CyprusG2954, leavingG2641 it on the leftG2176, we kept sailingG4126 to 5SyriaG4947 and landedG2718 at 6TyreG5184; for thereG1566 the shipG4143 was to unloadG670 its cargoG1117. 4After lookingG429 up 7the disciplesG3101, we stayedG1961 thereG847 sevenG2033 daysG2250; and they kept tellingG3004 PaulG3972 89throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 not to setG1910 footG1910 in JerusalemG2414. 5WhenG3753 10our daysG2250 there were endedG1822, we leftG1831 and startedG4198 on our journeyG4311, while they allG3956, with wivesG1135 and childrenG5043, 11escortedG4311 us untilG2193 we were out of the cityG4172. After 12kneelingG1119G5087 downG5087G1119 on the beachG123 and prayingG4336, we saidG537 farewellG537 to oneG240 anotherG240. 6ThenG2532 we wentG1684 on boardG1684 the shipG4143, and they returnedG5290 13homeG2398 again.

7When we had finishedG1274 the voyageG4144 from 14TyreG5184, we arrivedG2658 at PtolemaisG4424, and after greetingG782 15the brethrenG80, we stayedG3306 with them for a dayG2250. 8On the nextG1887 dayG1887 we leftG1831 and cameG2064 to 16CaesareaG2542, and enteringG1525 the houseG3624 of 17PhilipG5376 the 18evangelistG2099, who was 19one of the sevenG2033, we stayedG3306 with him. 9NowG1161 thisG3778 manG3778 hadG1510 fourG5064 virginG3933 daughtersG2364 who were 20prophetessesG4395. 10As we were stayingG1961 there for someG4183 daysG2250, a prophetG4396 namedG3686 21AgabusG13 cameG2718 downG2718 from JudeaG2453. 11And comingG2064 to us, he 22tookG142 Paul’sG3972 beltG2223 and boundG1210 his ownG1438 feetG4228 and handsG5495, and saidG3004, “ThisG3592 23is whatG3592 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 saysG3004: ‘In thisG3779 wayG3779 the JewsG2453 at JerusalemG2419 will 24bindG1210 the manG435 whoG3739 ownsG1510 thisG3778 beltG2223 and 25deliverG3860 him into the handsG5495 of the GentilesG1484.’” 12WhenG5613 we had heardG191 thisG3778, we as wellG5037 as the localG1786 residentsG1786 began beggingG3870 him 26not to goG305 up to JerusalemG2419. 13ThenG5119 PaulG3972 answeredG611, “WhatG5101 are you doingG4160, weepingG2799 and breakingG4919 my heartG2588? For 27I amG2192 readyG2093 not onlyG3440 to be boundG1210, but evenG2532 to dieG599 at JerusalemG2419 for 28the nameG3686 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424.” 14And since he would not be persuadedG3982, we fellG2270 silentG2270, remarkingG3004, “29The willG2307 of the LordG2962 be doneG1096!”

15AfterG3326 theseG3778 daysG2250 we gotG1980 readyG1980 and 30startedG305 on our wayG305 up to JerusalemG2414. 16Some of 31the disciplesG3101 from 32CaesareaG2542 alsoG2532 cameG4905 with us, takingG71 us to MnasonG3416 of 33CyprusG2953, a 34discipleG3101 of longG744 standingG744 with whomG3739 we were to lodgeG3579.

17AfterG1161 we arrivedG1096 in JerusalemG2414, 35the brethrenG80 receivedG588 us gladlyG780. 18And the followingG1897 day PaulG3972 wentG1524 in with us to 3637JamesG2385, and allG3956 38the eldersG4245 were presentG3854.
