Acts 21

1 Ref And when it came to pass that were parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the next day unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:

2 Ref and having found a ship crossing over unto Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

3 Ref And when we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed unto Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her burden.

4 Ref And having found the disciples, we tarried there seven days: and these said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not set foot in Jerusalem.

5 Ref And when it came to pass that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey; and they all, with wives and children, brought us on our way till we were out of the city: and kneeling down on the beach, we prayed, and bade each other farewell;

6 Ref and we went on board the ship, but they returned home again.

7 Ref And when we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

8 Ref And on the morrow we departed, and came unto Caesarea: and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.

9 Ref Now this man had four virgin daughters, who prophesied.

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

11 Ref And coming to us, and taking Paul's girdle, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, 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 do ye, weeping and breaking my 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 these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

16 Ref And there went with us also `certain' of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing `with them' one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
