Acts 21:1-11 ▼

1 And it came to pass that, after we had separated from them, we put to sea, and came by a straight course to Cos, and on the following day, to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.

2 And finding a ship that was going to Phenicia, we embarked, and put to sea.

3 And we came in view of Cyprus; and, leaving it to the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to put off her lading.

4 And we remained there seven days, after finding the disciples. These urged Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.

5 And when these days were completed, we went forth, and continued our journey, they all, with their wives and children, conducting us out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.

6 And when we had bid each other farewell, we embarked, and they returned home.

7 And completing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais: and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.

8 On the following day we departed, and came to Caesarea, and went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and we remained with him.

9 This man had four virgin daughters, who had the gift of prophesy.

10 And as we remained there many days, there came down, from Judea, a certain prophet, named Agabus;

11 and he came to us, and taking Paul's girdle, he bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit; the Jews that are in Jerusalem will so bind the man to whom this girdle belongs; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
