青 21:1 After we had torn ourselves away from them, we put out to sea
and sailed straight to Cos. The next day we went to Rhodes and from there
to Patara.
青 21:2 We found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, went on board and
set sail.
青 21:3 After sighting Cyprus and passing to the south of it, we sailed
on to Syria. We landed at Tyre, where our ship was to unload its cargo.
青 21:4 Finding the disciples there, we stayed with them seven days.
Through the Spirit they urged Paul not to go on to Jerusalem.
青 21:5 But when our time was up, we left and continued on our way.
All the disciples and their wives and children acco mpanied us out of the
city, and there on the beach we knelt to pray.
青 21:6 After saying good-by to each other, we went aboard the ship,
and they returned home.

青 21:7 We continued our voyage from Tyre and landed at Ptolemais,
where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them f or a day.
青 21:8 Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the
house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven.
青 21:9 He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
青 21:10 After we had been there a number of days, a prophet named
Agabus came down from Judea.
青 21:11 Coming over to us, he took Paul's belt, tied his own hands
and feet with it and said, "The Holy Spirit sa ys, 'In this way the Jews
of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and will hand him over to
the Gentiles.'"
青 21:12 When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul
not to go up to Jerusalem.
青 21:13 Then Paul answered, "Why are you weeping and breaking my heart?
I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name
of the Lord Jesus."
青 21:14 When he would not be dissuaded, we gave up and said, "The
Lord's will be done."
青 21:15 After this, we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
青 21:16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us and brought
us to the home of Mnason, where we were to stay . He was a man from Cyprus
and one of the early disciples.

青 21:17 When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us warmly.
青 21:18 The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and
all the elders were present.
青 21:19 Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done
among the Gentiles through his ministry.
青 21:20 When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to
Paul: "You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and
all of them are zealous for the law.
青 21:21 They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live
among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telli ng them not to circumcise
their children or live according to our customs.
青 21:22 What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come,
青 21:23 so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have
made a vow.
青 21:24 Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their
expenses, so that they can have their heads sha ved. Then everybody will
know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself
are living in obedienc e to the law.
青 21:25 As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our
decision that they should abstain from food sacrific ed to idols, from
blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality."
青 21:26 The next day Paul took the men and purified himself along
with them. Then he went to the temple to give notice of the date when the
days of purification would end and the offering would be made for each
of them.

青 21:27 When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province
of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized
him,
青 21:28 shouting, "Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches
all men everywhere against our people and our law and this place. And besides,
he has brought Greeks into the temple area and defiled this holy place."
青 21:29 (They had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city
with Paul and assumed that Paul had brought him i nto the temple area.)
青 21:30 The whole city was aroused, and the people came running from
all directions. Seizing Paul, they dragged him fr om the temple, and immediately
the gates were shut.
青 21:31 While they were trying to kill him, news reached the commander
of the Roman troops that the whole city of Jeru salem was in an uproar.
青 21:32 He at once took some officers and soldiers and ran down to
the crowd. When the rioters saw the commander and h is soldiers, they stopped
beating Paul.
青 21:33 The commander came up and arrested him and ordered him to
be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was a nd what he had done.
青 21:34 Some in the crowd shouted one thing and some another, and
since the commander could not get at the truth becau se of the uproar,
he ordered that Paul be taken into the barracks.
青 21:35 When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so
great he had to be carried by the soldiers.
青 21:36 The crowd that followed kept shouting, "Away with him!"
青 21:37 As the soldiers were about to take Paul into the barracks,
he asked the commander, "May I say something t o you?" "Do you speak Greek?"
he replied.
青 21:38 "Aren't you the Egyptian who started a revolt and led four
thousand terrorists out into the desert some t ime ago?"
青 21:39 Paul answered, "I am a Jew, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen
of no ordinary city. Please let me speak to the people."
青 21:40 Having received the commander's permission, Paul stood on
the steps and motioned to the crowd. When they were all silent, he said
to them in Aramaic: |
