(7)And we, completing the voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais; and having embraced the brethren, we remained with them one day. (8)And on the morrow we departed, and came to Caesarea; and entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, being one of the Seven, we abode with him. (9)And this man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied. (10)And while we were remaining several days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. (11)And coming to us, he took off Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit: So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man, whose this girdle is, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. (12)And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem. (13)Then answered Paul: What mean ye, to weep and to break 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)And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done. (15)And after those days, having packed up our baggage, we went up to Jerusalem. (16)There went with us also some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing us to Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. (17)And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. (18)And on the following day, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present. (19)And having embraced them, he recounted particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles through his ministry. (20)And they, hearing it, glorified the Lord. And they said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealots for the law. (21)And they were informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they should not circumcise their children, nor walk after the customs. (22)What is it therefore? A multitude must surely come together; for they will hear that thou hast come. (23)Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them; (24)these take with thee, and purify thyself with them, and bear the charges for them, that they may shave their heads; and all will know that those things, of which they have been informed concerning thee, are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, keeping the law. (25)But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote to them, deciding that they should observe no such thing, except that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication. (26)Then Paul took the men, and the next day, having purified himself with them, entered into the temple, announcing the completion of the days of the purification, until the offering was brought for each one of them.
