Acts 21
1 When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.

2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.

3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.

4 Having found the disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

5 When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,

6 we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.

7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them one day.

8 On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.

9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

11 Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit: 'So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲧⲉⲣⲉϥⲉⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲟⲛ ⲁϥϥⲓ ⲙⲡⲙⲟϫϩ ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲗⲟⲥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩⲣ ⲛⲛⲉϥⲟⲩⲉⲣⲏⲧⲉ ⲙⲛ ⲛⲉϥϭⲓϫ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲣⲉⲡⲉⲡⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲁⲁⲃ ϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲙⲟϫϩ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲙⲟⲣϥ ⲛⲧⲉⲓϩⲉ ϩⲛ ⲑⲓⲗⲏⲙ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲥⲉⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ ⲉⲛϭⲓϫ ⲛⲛϩⲉⲑⲛⲟⲥ
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to go up to Jerusalem.

13 Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."

15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.

19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through his ministry.

20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the Law.

21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.

24 Take them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the Law.

25 But concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.

27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid hands on him,

28 crying out, "Men of Israel, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled this holy place."

29 For they had previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.

30 All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.

34 Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
