Acts 21

1 Ref And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

2 Ref And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

3 Ref Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

4 Ref And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 Ref And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

6 Ref And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

7 Ref And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

8 Ref And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9 Ref And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

10 Ref And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

11 Ref And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.

12 Ref And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 Ref Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

14 Ref And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

15 Ref And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

16 Ref There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.

17 Ref And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

18 Ref And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
