44_ACT_21_01 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 :
44_ACT_21_02 And finding A ship sailing over unto Phenicia , we went aboard , And set forth .
44_ACT_21_03 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 .
44_ACT_21_04 And finding disciples , we tarried there seven days : who said to Paul through the spirit , that he should not go up to Jerusalem .
44_ACT_21_05 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 .
44_ACT_21_06 And when we had taken our leave one of another , we took ship ; And they returned home again .
44_ACT_21_07 And when we had finished [ our ] course from Tyre , we came to Ptolemais , And saluted the brethren , And abode with them one day .
44_ACT_21_08 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 .
44_ACT_21_09 And the same man had four daughters , virgins , which did prophesy .
44_ACT_21_10 And as we tarried [ there ] Many days , there came down from Judaea A certain prophet , named Agabus .
44_ACT_21_11 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 .
44_ACT_21_12 And when we heard These things , Both we , And they of that place , besought him not to go up to Jerusalem .
44_ACT_21_13 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 .
44_ACT_21_14 And when he would not be persuaded , we ceased , saying , the will of the LORD be done .
44_ACT_21_15 And after those days we took up our carriages , And went up to Jerusalem .
44_ACT_21_16 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 .
44_ACT_21_17 And when we were come to Jerusalem , the brethren received us gladly .
44_ACT_21_18 And the [ day ] following Paul went in with us unto James ; And all the elders were present .
44_ACT_21_19 And when he had saluted them , he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry .
44_ACT_21_20 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 :
44_ACT_21_21 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 .
44_ACT_21_22 what Is it therefore ? the multitude must needs come together : for they will hear that thou art come .
44_ACT_21_23 do therefore this that we say to thee : we have four men which have A vow on them ;
44_ACT_21_24 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 .
44_ACT_21_25 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 .
44_ACT_21_26 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 .
44_ACT_21_27 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 ,
44_ACT_21_28 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 .
44_ACT_21_29 [ for they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian , whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple . ]
44_ACT_21_30 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 .
44_ACT_21_31 And as they went about to kill him , tidings came unto the chief captain of the band , that all Jerusalem was in an uproar .
44_ACT_21_32 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 .
44_ACT_21_33 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 .
44_ACT_21_34 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 .
44_ACT_21_35 And when he came upon the stairs , So it was , that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people .
44_ACT_21_36 for the multitude of the people followed after , crying , away with him .
44_ACT_21_37 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 ?
44_ACT_21_38 art not thou that Egyptian , which before These days madest an uproar , And leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers ?
44_ACT_21_39 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 .
44_ACT_21_40 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 ,
