021:003 After sighting Cyprus and leaving that island on our left, we continued our voyage to Syria and put in at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload her cargo. 021:004 Having searched for the disciples and found them, we stayed at Tyre for seven days; and, taught by the Spirit, they repeatedly urged Paul not to proceed to Jerusalem. 021:005 When, however, our time was up, we left and went on our way, all the disciples and their wives and children coming to see us off. Then, after kneeling down on the beach and praying, 021:006 we took leave of one another; and we went on board, while they returned home. 021:007 As for us, our voyage was over when having sailed from Tyre we reached Ptolemais. here we inquired after the welfare of the brethren, and remained a day with them. 021:008 On the morrow we left Ptolemais and went on to Caesarea, where we came to the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. 021:009 Now Philip had four unmarried daughters who were prophetesses; 021:010 and during our somewhat lengthy stay a Prophet of the name of Agabus came down from Judaea. 021:011 When he arrived he took Paul's loincloth, and bound his own feet and arms with it, and said, "Thus says the Holy Spirit, `So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the owner of this loincloth, and will hand him over to the Gentiles.'" 021:012 As soon as we heard these words, both we and the brethren at Caesarea entreated Paul not to go up to Jerusalem. 021:013 His reply was, "What can you mean by thus breaking my heart with your grief? Why, as for me, I am ready not only to go to Jerusalem and be put in chains, but even to die there for the sake of the Lord Jesus." 021:014 So when he was not to be dissuaded, we ceased remonstrating with him and said, "The Lord's will be done!" 021:015 A few days afterwards we loaded our baggage-cattle and continued our journey to Jerusalem. 021:016 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also joined our party, and brought with them Mnason, a Cyprian, one of the early disciples, at whose house we were to lodge. 021:017 At length we reached Jerusalem, and there the brethren gave us a hearty welcome. 021:018 On the following day we went with Paul to call on James, and all the Elders of the Church came also. 021:019 After exchanging friendly greetings, Paul told in detail all that God had done among the Gentiles through his instrumentality. 021:020 And they, when they had heard his statement, gave the glory to God. Then they said, "You see, brother, how many tens of thousands of Jews there are among those who have accepted the faith, and they are all zealous upholders of the Law.
