Acts 21:1-18

CAB(i) 1 Now when it came to pass that we had put to sea, having withdrawn from them, running a straight course we came to Cos, and on the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. 2 And having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded it and put to sea. 3 When we had sighted Cyprus, and had left it behind on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put in to harbor in Tyre, for the ship was unloading its cargo. 4 And having discovered disciples, we stayed there seven days. They said to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem. 5 But when it came about that we had completed the days there, having gone out we departed, all of them accompanying us, together with their wives and children, until we were outside the city. And having bowed our knees on the shore, we prayed. 6 And having greeted one another, we went up into the ship, and they returned to their own homes. 7 And completing our voyage from Tyre, we arrived in Ptolemais, and having greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them. 8 On the next day those accompanying Paul went forth and came to Caesarea, and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him. 9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied. 10 And while we remained there several days, a certain prophet from Judea named Agabus came down. 11 And coming to us and taking Paul's belt, and binding his feet and hands, he said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, ' The man whose belt this is, the Jews will bind in this way in Jerusalem, and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.' " 12 Now when we heard these things, both we and the local residents urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. 13 Then Paul answered, "What do you mean by weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, in behalf of the name of the Lord Jesus." 14 And when he remained unpersuaded, we were silent and said, "Let the will of the Lord be done." 15 Now after those days, having prepared, we went up to Jerusalem. 16 Also some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us and brought with them a certain Cypriot named Mnason, a long-standing disciple, with whom we would stay as a guest. 17 And when we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers gladly received us. 18 On the next day Paul was going in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
