Acts 21
Revised Literal Translation
1AndG1161 it came to passG1096, that afterG5613 weG1473 were gottenG645 fromG575 themG846, and had launchedG321, we cameG2064 with a straight courseG2113 untoG1519 CoosG3588G2972, andG1161 theG1836 day followingG1836 untoG1519 RhodesG3588G4499, and from thenceG2547 untoG1519 PataraG3959:
2AndG2532 findingG2147 a shipG4143 sailing overG1276 untoG1519 PheniciaG5403, we went aboardG1910, and set forthG321.
3NowG1161 when we had discoveredG398 CyprusG3588G2954, weG2532 leftG2641 itG846 on the left handG2176, and sailedG4126 intoG1519 SyriaG4947, andG2532 landedG2609 atG1519 TyreG5184: forG1063 thereG1566 the shipG3588G4143 wasG1510 to unladeG670 her burdenG3588G1117.
4AndG2532 findingG429 disciplesG3588G3101, we tarriedG1961 thereG847 sevenG2033 daysG2250: whoG3748 saidG3004 to PaulG3588G3972 throughG1223 the SpiritG3588G4151, that he shouldG305 notG3361 go upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
5AndG1161 whenG3753 weG1473 hadG1096 accomplishedG1822 those daysG3588G2250, we departedG1831 and went our wayG4198; and they allG3956 broughtG4311 usG1473 on our wayG4311, withG4862 wivesG1135 andG2532 childrenG5043, tillG2193 we were out ofG1854 the cityG3588G4172: andG2532 we kneeledG5087 downG3588G1119 onG1909 the shoreG3588G123, and prayedG4336.
6AndG2532 when we had taken our leaveG782 one of anotherG240, we tookG1910 shipG3588G4143; andG1161 theyG1565 returnedG5290 home againG2398.
7AndG1161 when weG1473 had finishedG1274 our courseG3588G4144 fromG575 TyreG5184, we cameG2658 toG1519 PtolemaisG4424, andG2532 salutedG782 the brethrenG3588G80, and abodeG3306 withG3844 themG846 oneG1520 dayG2250.
8AndG1161 the nextG3588G1887 day we that wereG3588 ofG4012 Paul’s companyG3588G3972 departedG1831, and cameG2064 untoG1519 CæsareaG2542: andG2532 we enteredG1525 intoG1519 the houseG3588G3624 of PhilipG5376 the evangelistG3588G2099, which wasG3588G1510 one ofG1537 the sevenG3588G2033; and abodeG3306 withG3844 himG846.
9AndG1161 the same manG3778 hadG1510 fourG5064 daughtersG2364, virginsG3933, which did prophesyG4395.
10AndG1161 as weG1473 tarriedG1961 there manyG4119 daysG2250, there came downG2718 fromG575 JudæaG3588G2449 a certainG5100 prophetG4396, namedG3686 AgabusG13.
11AndG2532 when he was comeG2064 untoG4314 usG1473, he tookG142 Paul’sG3588G3972 girdleG3588G2223, andG5037 boundG1210 his ownG846 handsG3588G5495 andG2532 feetG3588G4228, and saidG3004, ThusG3592 saithG3004 the HolyG40 GhostG3588G4151, SoG3779 shallG1210 the JewsG2453 atG1722 JerusalemG2419 bindG1210 the manG3588G435 thatG3739 ownethG1510 thisG3778 girdleG3588G2223, andG2532 shall deliverG3860 him intoG1519 the handsG5495 of the GentilesG1484.
12AndG1161 whenG5613 we heardG191 these thingsG3778, bothG5037 weG1473, andG2532 theyG3588 of that placeG1786, besoughtG3870 himG846 notG3361 toG1519 go upG305 to JerusalemG2419.
13ThenG1161 PaulG3588G3972 answeredG611, WhatG5101 mean yeG4160 to weepG2799 andG2532 to breakG4919 mineG1473 heartG3588G2588? forG1063 IG1473 amG2192 readyG2093 notG3756 to be boundG1210 onlyG3440, butG235 alsoG2532 to dieG599 atG1519 JerusalemG2419 forG5228 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424.
14And whenG1161 heG846 wouldG3982 notG3361 be persuadedG3982, we ceasedG2270, sayingG3004, The willG3588G2307 of the LordG3588G2962 be doneG1096.
15AndG1161 afterG3326 thoseG3778 daysG3588G2250 we took up our carriagesG643, and went upG305 toG1519 JerusalemG2419.
16ThereG1161 wentG4905 withG4862 usG1473 alsoG2532 certain of the disciplesG3588G3101 ofG575 CæsareaG2542, and brought with themG71 oneG5100 MnasonG3416 of CyprusG2953, an oldG744 discipleG3101, withG3844 whomG3739 we should lodgeG3579.
17AndG1161 when weG1473 were comeG1096 toG1519 JerusalemG2414, the brethrenG3588G80 receivedG1209 usG1473 gladlyG780.
18AndG1161 theG3588 day followingG1966 PaulG3588G3972 went inG1524 withG4862 usG1473 untoG4314 JamesG2385; andG5037 allG3956 the eldersG4245 were presentG3854.
19AndG2532 when he had salutedG782 themG846, he declaredG1834 particularlyG1538 what thingsG3739 GodG3588G2316 had wroughtG4160 amongG1722 the GentilesG3588G1484 byG1223 hisG846 ministryG3588G1248.
20AndG1161 when they heardG191 it, they glorifiedG1392 the LordG3588G2962, andG5037 saidG3004 unto himG846, Thou seestG2334, brotherG80, how manyG4214 thousandsG3461 of JewsG2453 there areG1510 whichG3588 believeG4100; andG2532 they areG5225 allG3956 zealousG2207 of the lawG3588G3551:
21AndG1161 they are informedG2727 ofG4012 theeG4771, thatG3754 thou teachestG1321 allG3956 the JewsG2453 whichG3588 are amongG2596 the GentilesG3588G1484 to forsakeG646 MosesG3475, saying thatG3004 theyG846 oughtG4059 notG3361 to circumciseG4059 their childrenG3588G5043, neitherG3366 to walk afterG4043 the customsG3588G1485.
22WhatG5101 is itG1510 thereforeG3767? the multitudeG4128 mustG1163 needsG3843 come togetherG4905: forG1063 they will hearG191 thatG3754 thou art comeG2064.
23DoG4160 thereforeG3767 thisG3778 that we sayG3004 to theeG4771: WeG1473 haveG1510 fourG5064 menG435 whichG3739 haveG2192 a vowG2171 onG1909 themG1438;
24ThemG3778 takeG3880, and purify thyselfG48 withG4862 themG846, andG2532 be at chargesG1159 withG1909 themG846, thatG2443 they may shaveG3587 their headsG3588G2776: andG2532 allG3956 may knowG1097 thatG3754 those thingsG3739, whereof they were informedG2727 concerningG4012 theeG4771, areG1510 nothingG3762; butG235 that thou thyselfG846 alsoG2532 walkest orderlyG4748, and keepestG5442 the lawG3588G3551.
25AsG1161 touchingG4012 the GentilesG1484 whichG3588 believeG4100, weG1473 have writtenG1989 and concluded thatG2919 theyG846 observeG5083 noG3367 such thingG5108, saveG1487 only thatG3361 they keepG5442 themselvesG846 fromG5037 things offered to idolsG1494, andG2532 from bloodG3588G129, andG2532 from strangledG4156, andG2532 from fornicationG4202.
26ThenG5119 PaulG3588G3972 tookG3880 the menG3588G435, and the nextG2192 dayG2250 purifying himselfG48 withG4862 themG846 enteredG1524 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411, to signifyG1229 the accomplishmentG3588G1604 of the daysG3588G2250 of purificationG3588G49, untilG2193 thatG3739 an offering should beG4374 offeredG3588G4376 forG5228 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846.
27AndG1161 whenG5613 the sevenG2033 daysG2250 were almostG3195 endedG4931, the JewsG2453 which wereG3588 ofG575 AsiaG3588G773, when they sawG2300 himG846 inG1722 the templeG3588G2411, stirred upG4797 allG3956 the peopleG3588G3793, andG2532 laidG1911 handsG3588G5495 onG1909 himG846,
28Crying outG2896, MenG435 of IsraelG2475, helpG997: ThisG3778 isG1510 the manG3588G444, that teachethG1321 allG3956 men every whereG3837 againstG2596 the peopleG3588G2992, andG2532 the lawG3588G3551, andG2532 thisG3778 placeG3588G5117: andG5037 furtherG2089 broughtG1521 GreeksG1672 alsoG2532 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411, andG2532 hath pollutedG2840 thisG3778 holyG40 placeG5117.
29(ForG1063 they hadG1510 seen beforeG4308 withG4862 himG846 inG1722 the cityG3588G4172 TrophimusG5161 an EphesianG2180, whomG3739 they supposedG3543 thatG3754 PaulG3588G3972 had broughtG1521 intoG1519 the templeG3588G2411.)
30AndG5037 allG3650 the cityG3588G4172 wasG1096 movedG2795, andG2532 the peopleG3588G2992 ran togetherG4890: andG2532 they tookG1949 PaulG3588G3972, and drewG1670 himG846 out ofG1854 the templeG3588G2411: andG2532 forthwithG2112 the doorsG3588G2374 were shutG2808.
31AndG1161 as they went aboutG2212 to killG615 himG846, tidingsG5334 came untoG305 the chief captainG3588G5506 of the bandG3588G4686, thatG3754 allG3650 JerusalemG2419 was in an uproarG4797.
32WhoG3739 immediatelyG1824 tookG3880 soldiersG4757 andG2532 centurionsG1543, and ran downG2701 untoG1909 themG846: andG1161 when they sawG3708 the chief captainG3588G5506 andG2532 the soldiersG3588G4757, they leftG3973 beatingG5180 of PaulG3588G3972.
33ThenG5119 the chief captainG3588G5506 came nearG1448, and tookG1949 himG846, andG2532 commandedG2753 him to be boundG1210 with twoG1417 chainsG254; andG2532 demandedG4441 whoG5101 he wasG1510, andG2532 whatG5101 he hadG1510 doneG4160.
34AndG1161 someG243 criedG994 one thingG5100, some anotherG243, amongG1722 the multitudeG3588G3793: andG1161 when he couldG1410 notG3361 knowG1097 the certaintyG804 forG1223 the tumultG3588G2351, he commandedG2753 himG846 to be carriedG71 intoG1519 the castleG3588G3925.
35AndG1161 whenG3753 heG846 cameG1096 uponG1909 the stairsG3588G304, so it wasG4819, that he was borneG941 ofG5259 the soldiersG3588G4757 forG1223 the violenceG3588G970 of the peopleG3588G3793.
36ForG1063 the multitudeG3588G4128 of the peopleG3588G2992 followed afterG190, cryingG2896, Away withG142 himG846.
37AndG5037 as PaulG3588G3972 wasG3195 to be ledG1521 intoG1519 the castleG3588G3925, he saidG3004 unto the chief captainG3588G5506, MayG1832 IG1473 speakG3004 untoG4314 theeG4771? WhoG5100 saidG5346, Canst thou speakG1097 GreekG1676?
38ArtG1510 notG3756 thouG4771 thatG3588 EgyptianG124, whichG3588 beforeG4253 theseG3778 daysG3588G2250 madest an uproarG387, andG2532 leddest outG1806 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 four thousandG5070 menG435 that were murderersG3588G4607?
39ButG1161 PaulG3588G3972 saidG3004, IG1473 amG1510 a manG444 which am a JewG2453 of TarsusG5018, a city in CiliciaG3588G2791, a citizenG4177 ofG767 noG3756 meanG767 cityG4172: andG1161, I beseechG1189 theeG4771, sufferG2010 meG1473 to speakG2980 untoG4314 the peopleG3588G2992.
40AndG1161 when he had givenG2010 himG846 licenceG2010, PaulG3588G3972 stoodG2476 onG1909 the stairsG3588G304, and beckonedG2678 with the handG3588G5495 unto the peopleG3588G2992. AndG1161 when there was madeG1096 a greatG4183 silenceG4602, he spake untoG4377 them in the HebrewG3588G1446 tongueG1258, sayingG3004,
