Context of Acts 21:17

15After these days, we packed and started going up to Jerusalem. 16Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing us to Mnason of Cyprus—one of the early disciples by whom we might be hosted. When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters welcomed us gladly. 18On the next day, Paul went in with us to Jacob; all the elders were present. 19After greeting them, he reported to them in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his service.
