et cum moraremur per dies aliquot supervenit quidam aIudaea propheta nomine Agabus

21:11
is cum venisset ad nos tulit zonam Pauli et alligans sibipedes et manus dixit haec dicit Spiritus Sanctus virum cuiusest zona haec sic alligabunt in Hierusalem Iudaei et tradent inmanus gentium

21:12
quod cum audissemus rogabamus nos et qui loci illius erantne ascenderet Hierosolymam

21:13
tunc respondit Paulus et dixit quid facitis flentes etadfligentes cor meum ego enim non solum alligari sed et mori inHierusalem paratus sum propter nomen Domini Iesu

21:14
et cum ei suadere non possemus quievimus dicentes Dominivoluntas fiat

021:001
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:

021:002
And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.

021:003
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.

021:004
And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

021:005
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.

021:006
And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.

021:007
And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.

021:008
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.

021:009
And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

021:010
And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

021:011
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.

021:012
And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.

021:013
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.

021:014
And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.

021:015
And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.

021:016
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.

021:017
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.

021:018
And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.

021:019
And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.

021:020
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:

021:021
And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

021:022
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.

021:023
Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;

021:024
Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.

021:025
As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

021:026
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

021:027
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,

021:028
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.

021:029
(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)

021:030
And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.

021:031
And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.

021:032
Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.

021:033
Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.

021:034
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.

021:035
And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.

021:036
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.

021:037
And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?

021:038
Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?

021:039
But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.

021:040
And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
